Joanne Chory: A Character Witness for Plants
In this seminar, Jennifer Nemhauser will discuss the many ways that her mentor Joanne Chory made the case that plant genetics are worth more time, attention and investment. From the first phase of her career as a curiosity-driven explorer of photobiology through her transition to international advocate for plant-based solutions to climate change, Joanne made excellent use of genetics and genomics to ask plants “how do you do that?” Jennifer will share some of the most surprising and compelling answers that Joanne and her team received. Read more about Joanne’s legacy in Genes to Genomes.
