Plant Cell Atlas Art & Science Exhibit

We are hosting portable art and science exhibits at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutes, and Primarily Undergraduate Institutions to raise awareness of the impact that plant research can have on society, the environment, and the economy. These exhibits take the forms of 4 banners centered around a plant science topic per exhibit, which lasts for one semester or 2 quarters. The inaugural exhibit, which took place in Fall 2021, featured historically significant Black figures in plant science with short biographies of each scientist and art that highlights their research. The second exhibit, in Spring 2022, focused on impressive feats of plant biotechnology such as phytoremediation and vaccine production in plants.
