***Reminder***


Hi everyone!

I am reaching out to remind you that our BPSC/Corteva Symposium is Tomorrow, May 25th at 10:00 AM.

Please register for the Symposium at  https://sites.google.com/ucr.edu/bpscsymposium22/home<https://sites.google.com/ucr.edu/bpscsymposium22/home>


After registration, the zoom log in for the Symposium will be available to you.


Participation in this student-lead event is critical so we can maintain Corteva funding. We are hoping to go in person next year and we will need this funding to do this.

So I hope you will encourage everyone in your lab to attend and please spread the word.  Our graduate students have assembled a great set of speakers from the esteemed to rise postdoctoral stars.

We have a different organization this year.

  *   Our Yermanos Lecture will initiate our Symposium at 10:20 AM.
  *   The Corteva Agriscience speaker is at 1:00 PM
  *   State of the Department and Graduate Student Awards begin at 5 PM.
