Kat Gives her Seminar, March, 2026
Our graduate student Kat gave her seminar this week entitled "Mapping Wild Rice: Genetics and Sociocultural Contexts of Zizania palustris". She did a great job of outlining the goals of her research as well as providing the department with important contextual information about the research. We are very proud of her!
Derek does a PhD Rotation with the Program, February, 2026.
Derek Hunsaker is joining the program for a few weeks as part of his PhD rotation! We are excited to have him here to help with some of our more computationally heavy tasks. He will be working on determining diplotype effects on shattering in wild rice based on our GWAS data. Welcome Derek!
