[IIGB_All] BPSC/Corteva Symposium _ Wed May 25th

[IIGBadmin]

Dear IIGB members

I am reaching out to call your attention to the BPSC/Corteva Symposium that will take place on Wed May 25th starting at 10 AM.

The BPSC graduate students have assembled a great set of speakers from the esteemed to rise postdoctoral stars. Some of our speaker’s talks may be of interest to you or your labmates and I would sincerely appreciate you passing this information on to them. See the table below.

Any one who is interested in attending all or part of this virtual can email me (lwalling at ucr.edu<mailto:lwalling at ucr.edu>). We will be sure to forward them the link to the symposium next week.

If you are already a member of the Plant Biology Graduate program or BPSC Department, you will receive this information directly.

Many thanks

Linda Walling
