Thrilled to be organizing a plenary symposium ASPB with Anjali Iyer-Pascuzzi Lauren Azevedo-Schmidt, PhD Robert Jinkerson Janet Jansson who will speak on the science that will prepare us for the journey across the solar system #PlantBio23 #plantsinspace NASA Space Science
#ChiBotanic was recently recognized as a part of “Synbio 3.0”, a new class of companies that engineer complex organisms (like plants) to modify form and function at the macroscopic level.
Thank you IN-Q-TEL for the recognition! 🙌🥳
