ABOUT
In an effort to highlight more plant biologists from underrepresented backgrounds, we would like to invite folks to nominate a scientist to be highlighted each month. This initiative is being led by the ASPB Early Career Plant Scientists Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Subcommittee. By showcasing these scientists and their achievements, we hope to make these groups more visible and appreciate their invaluable contributions to our discipline. Nominations are accepted below and are welcome from folks at all professional levels.
