<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">Sean Bradley, 2024 Carothers Scholar, conducted research that focused on understanding legume and Bradyrhizobium symbiosis. Working at Huyck Preserve in Rensselaerville, NY, and
Albany Pine Bush Preserve near Albany, Bradley collected strains from wild legumes native to eastern North America. Bradley hopes the native legume species may prove useful for agricultural sustainability. Bradley’s research was funded by The Garden Club of
America’s Mary T. Carothers Summer Environmental Studies Scholarship.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#494949"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
