Never thought agriculture could be this fascinating. Maybe because I didn't pay as much attention as I should have back in my junior days😅 But then again, it's the variety of interest that makes life meaningful. I'm glad you found your niche and are thriving at it Foster💫
Beautiful 🤩 As a fellow plant breeder, I am working on developing heat tolerant potato varieties for a global changing climate. On the flip side, I am a professional development coach for professionals and mentor to aspiring grad students: so I am also working on breeding professionals
