Georgie Ducsai, Helen LaRowe, and Katie Losada are excited to be invited to share their research with the founder of UW-Madison's Fast Plant program. While talking on the phone with Kristine and her students earlier this week, Dr. Paul Williams invited these sophomores to send him data from their Fast Plant experiments.
