On behalf of the Penn State Plant Institute Executive Committee and the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Plant Institute Newsletter which will provide a comprehensive listing of plant-related seminars, events, news, and collaboration opportunities. We also formally invite you to join the Plant Institute through the announcement of our Membership Drive starting today! This initiative is open to all Penn State staff, students, and faculty with an interest in plant sciences, across all branch campuses.
