Each month will feature a different speaker with a diverse career in plant sciences. On Oct. 22, The Plant Center welcomes Nora Lapitan, deputy administrator, USDA ARS.

Following a short self-introduction by the speaker, organizers envision the workshop to be a conversation about career paths, skills acquired, mentoring, networking, and challenges/opportunities in plant science.

The workshops will be virtual, and additional workshops in the series will take place on Nov. 5 and Dec. 11.
