Ashley Duval is a UC Davis alum and now works for Mars Wrigley/Mars Inc. right here in town, where she is senior scientist for genetics and breeding. Guess what they need? Chocolate! Where does that come from? Cacao! Ashley will talk about her project to breed cacao in Davis.

We'll have coffee, fruit and snacks. Grad students can get credit for PLS 190 - be sure to sign the sign-in sheet at the table as you come in!

This is part of our Wednesday Seminar series, held (almost) every Wednesday at noon during the school year. All are welcome! Enjoy the company of other folks interested in all things plants. Ask questions at the end, and network with faculty and students.
