[Plsfaculty] SPLS: Congratulations to Mark Beilstein and Becca Schomer

[Arnold, Betsy - (fungi)]

Dear colleagues,

I hope that everyone is doing well as we move into our first full month of our summer season. With some recent travels complete, I am catching up on email and will be sharing a few updates over the next day or so.

The first update is one you may have seen in the ALVSCE Weekly Bulletin. It's terrific news that bears repeating:

Please join me in congratulating Mark Beilstein and Becca Schomer, whose collaborative team was selected as one of the six 'Big Idea Challenge' grant award winners across the University of Arizona!


  *   Summoning Microbial Allies to Reduce Nitrogen Fertilizer Dependency in Modern Agriculture: Mark Beilstein (School of Plant Sciences), Rebecca Schomer (School of Plant Sciences), Matthew M. Mars (Department of Public and Applied Humanities), Claire Darnell McWhite (Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology)

We are delighted to have members of our SPLS community recognized for their research excellence and potential. I can share that I was especially happy that President Garimella brought up this project in a recent conversation to highlight exciting and impactful research.

Congratulations, Becca and Mark!

Warm regards,
Betsy
