Meet the folks behind the science
New Roots is an interdisciplinary team working to build a better future for our science, our community, and the natural and agricultural ecosystems we’re working to restore.
The Director of the New Roots for Restoration Biology Integration Institute is Allison Miller. Allison is a Member and Principal Investigator at the Danforth Plant Science Center, a Professor in the Department of Biology at Saint Louis University, and a Research Associate at the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Executive team members represent participating institutions and disciplinary areas. Four members of the executive team are based at the Danforth Center: plant organismal biologists Allison Miller and Ivan Baxter, and Education/Outreach leads Kris Callis-Duehl and Ruth Kaggwa. Plant evolutionary geneticist Eric Von Wettberg represents the University of Vermont. For Population and Community Ecology, Kay Havens and Alicia Foxx from the Chicago Botanic Garden lead restoration ecology of natural areas, and Ranjith Udawatta from the University of Missouri represents agro-ecology. The Soil Ecosphere theme is led by soil microbial ecologist Jim Bever from the University of Kansas and Laura van der Pol from The Land Institute who heads up the abiotic soil work.
