This week's Wednesday Seminar brings us Katayoon "Katie" Dehesh from UC Riverside, where she is director of the Institute for Integrative Genome Biology. She also is a distinguished professor and holds the Ernst and Helen Leibacher Endowed Chair in Botany and Plant Sciences. Katie will discuss, "How chloroplasts function as a central sensing and regulatory hub for orchestrating adaptive responses."

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!

Dehesh comes with a special invitation as the Inoue Memorial Seminar speaker. Kentaro Inoue was a professor of agricultural plant biology in the Department of Plant Sciences who died in 2016. Each year, a special seminar honors his passion for science and teaching.

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.
