Dear SIPS Community:
This summer has flown by! I don’t know about you, but I certainly agreed to participate in FAR too many things this summer and I’m running a bit behind schedule.
Many of us have attended scientific meetings and I’ve heard fantastic things about Botany 2018 (Annual Meeting of the Botanical Society of America and the American Society of Plant Taxonomists), the American Society for Horticultural Science 2018 Annual Conference, and the 2018 International Congress of Plant Pathology. Congratulations to those that won awards, and I hope everyone enjoyed hearing about great science and networking with colleagues. Read more about contributions and awards at the links provided.
Faculty search updates:
- Assistant/Associate Professor of International Cropping Systems. I’m pleased to announce that Andy McDonald has accepted Cornell’s offer and will be starting January 1, 2019.
- Assistant/Associate Professor of Plant-Microbe Biology. An offer has been made to the top candidate and negotiations are ongoing.
