Clean Lab

A group of seven TSU students (6 undergraduate and 2 graduate students) from Plant Science, as well as Food and Environmental sciences went on a National Science Foundation funded trip to Cornell University from May 21 to May 25 with Prof. Matthew Blair as group leader for the Plant Biology joining 2 students from FAMU led by Prof. Gokhan Hacisalihoglu. 听A highlight was a visit to a clean lab for Cornell Nanotechnology Fabrication to learn about micro-robots and chips that can be used in biological research, including to see if apple trees are getting enough water every minute of every day.
