Improving Outreach In Plant Science

Improving Outreach In Plant Science- Workshop at ICAR 2021-Virtual

Jose Dinneny, Stanford (and former NAASC member) organized this workshop at ICAR 2021-Virtual. The workshop stemmed from his leadership of two NAASC activities on the topic of Outreach in Plant Science that occurred between 2018-2021, funded by NSF award* to PI Siobhan Brady and co-PI Joanna Friesner, for NAASC.

The guide on “Broadening the impact of plant science through innovative, integrative, and inclusive outreach”, published in Plant Direct, is linked below the ICAR 2021 workshop speaker list
