We’re welcoming Jake Francis to the lab today for conversations about plant–pollinator–microbe interactions. His work in wild plant systems connects closely with our interest in the ways plants interact with other organisms.

The visit also brings the group together for dinner at Barracuda in Baton Rouge. These are valuable opportunities for students to meet researchers, ask questions, and hear about different paths through science—and to spend some time together outside the lab.

Thanks to Jake for visiting, and to everyone who joined the conversation!
