Discussion Group

The Translation Plant Sciences Center- Discussion Group (TPSC-DG) is a monthly seminar series that brings the TPSC community together to share ideas, learn new techniques, and collaborate with colleagues within the Translational Plant Sciences Center and beyond.  The TPSC-DG showcases student research and awards, and provides opportunity for collaboration for TPS researchers seeking to expand on experiments in their labs.  In addition to the seminar series, the TPSC-DG provides training sessions and workshops on available equipment, techniques, and professional development.  The TPSC-DG aims to increase the available knowledge and highlight the resources that are available to members of the TPSC community.
