Trees are generally considered plants consisting of a long stem, known as a trunk, and branches and/or leaves. Usually, the trunk supports leaves and branches, which grow high off the ground, by providing water and nutrients. Water and nutrients are transported into the trunk through root systems which grow below the ground to aid in stabilizing the tree.

Trees get diseases too! For the molecular research scientists that identify and provide management recommendations for plant diseases that impact trees and other woody plants, tools specific...
Comprehensive Genomic profiling (CGP) is becoming standard of care in oncology. It allows clinicians to maximize clinical information from limited biopsy samples so that patients are matched...
My group is addressing fundamental questions in evolutionary biology, using both genome- and phenotype-first approaches. A few years ago, we discovered that Arabidopsis thaliana is a great m...
Scientific posters haven't changed in 30 years, which should be alarming to you (nothing in science should be stagnant). And evidence suggests they are incredibly ineffective. In this ta...
