I wanted to give anyone who is interested a heads up that after the seminar 4-5PM, I will be taking Dr. Bazurto over to Cork and Craft for a short happy hour before dinner (~510-6PM). Anyone who wishes to talk to or ask additional questions is welcome to join!
It will be buy your own beverage, but I hope to see some of you there.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Dear SPLS Community,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Please join us for the next <b>in-person</b> <b>School of Plant Science seminar</b>, to be held this
<b>Tuesday, February 17<sup>th</sup> at 4:00pm </b>In <b>Marley Rm 230.</b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b>Dr. Jannell Bazurto</b> of the University of Minnesota will present
<b>“Methylobacterium in leaf microbiomes of summer and overwintering crops.”</b> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b>Bio:</b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Dr. Bazurto is a microbiologist whose research group focuses on understanding the integration of bacterial metabolism and stress response of Methylobacterium species, ubiquitous plant colonizers that promote seed germination, plant development,
and plant resilience. Metabolic and environmental stressors have consistently been the focal point of her research, exploring critical principles of how cells respond to and regulate cellular imbalances and compounding external stressors. Beyond these pursuits,
her lab aims to understand the ecological impacts of the formaldehyde-centric metabolism Methylobacterium extorquens in its native habitat as well as the overall impact of the Methylobacterium genus of plant-beneficial microbes on the composition of plant
microbiomes and host-plant resilience, thereby exploring potential applications in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology. Dr. Bazurto is a classically trained geneticist with extensive experience integrating approaches that span experimental scales from
molecular- to population<span style="">[1]</span>level phenomena. Her research is positioned at the interface of microbial physiology, biochemical genetics, and systems biology. Her lab is also interested in understanding how microbes navigate the inherent
toxicity of endogenous metabolites, and the consequences associated with the breakdown of metabolic homeostasis.
