Bio:
I am a third year PhD student at the University of California at Davis studying Horticulture and Agronomy with Dr. Dubcovsky and am currently researching spikelets per spike within wheat in order to increase yield. I am funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program and interested in genetics, plant breeding, and crop improvement. My goal is to enter the plant breeding industry as either a plant breeder, researcher, or manager.
On Friday, June 9th at 10AM PST, I will be migrating our website to a new webserver. The downtime should be around 3 hours after which the old website will have a redirect link to the new website.
Please email me if you find any problems/bugs after the migration. Thank you for your patience.
