Conferences

The posters are piling up!

Categories: Conferences

Over the past month, we had three students attend the SACNAS NDiSTEM meeting in Phoenix, AZ, and five students present at our Annual Biological Sciences Symposium, plus Dr. Carter’s talk at the 8th Partnership in Biocontrol, Biostimulants & Microbiome Congress. We are grateful for the funding from SACNAS, UNC Charlotte, and Global Engage to make our attendance at these events happen. It’s delightful to see so many in the lab getting to share their progress in various venues. While these are the outputs seen by our colleagues, first committee meetings and qualifying exams are also underway this semester. Hoping to get some of these projects into preprints soon!

Dr. Carter attended the Fungal Genetics meeting for the first time and what an incredible experience. She presented a poster on our recent preprint and came back to the lab with great new ideas and connections.

The Carter Lab heads to the APS Southern Division Meeting!

During the last week of February 2024, Lauren, Dallas, and Bhuwan represented the Carter Lab at the Southern Division meeting of the American Phytopathological Society in Columbia, South Carolina. Dallas presented her search for endofungal bacteria in important plant pathogens. We are grateful for the USDA support for this project and for funding their participation in this meeting!
