BII New Roots for Restoration Annual Meeting in Lawrence, KS, June 11-13, 2024
Botany 2024 in Grand Rapids, MI, June 15-19, 2024
New Roots for Restoration: integrating plant traits, communities, and the soil ecosphere to advance restoration of natural and agricultural systems (symposium)
Look where we’ve been!
Drs. Kristine Callis-Duehl (DDPSC), Molly Hanlon (DDPSC), Allison Miller (DDPSC), Ben Sikes (KU), and Stella Woeltjen (DDPSC) attended the NSF Biology Integration Institutes 2004 Awardees Meeting in Washington, DC on Jan 22-23, 2024. At this meeting, Dr. Miller gave an oral presentation on the science New Roots for Restoration has been doing towards the integration plant traits, communities, and soil ecosphere to advance the restoration of natural and agricultural systems. Please go here for the NRR BII posters presented at this meeting.
