In IJPS's first Coulter Review, Dr. Sarah Assmann examined the genetics of a tiny flowering plant for clues on how to cope with feeding a growing human population. Check out the press release (http://bit.ly/UfK6zR) for an overview and then read the entire article (http://bit.ly/UMejnz), available online ahead of print--for free!

[Journals]: Can Observations of a Hardy W**d Help Feed the World? As the human population increases, so too do the demands and stresses on agriculture. In the January 2013 issue of International Journal of Plant Sciences, Penn State University Waller Professor of Plant Biology Dr. Sarah Assmann explores how the responses to environmental stresses by one small, gen...

Fantastic post from Penn State Science about IJPS's inaugural Coulter Review. In the review, PSU faculty member Dr. Sarah Assmann examines the genetic makeup of a noncrop plant distantly related to broccoli and cabbage in order to work toward the solution of feeding a growing human population amid decreasing natural resources and increasing abiotic stresses.

The very first John M. Coulter Review is available online, ahead of print and freely accessible. Check it out! http://bit.ly/UMejnz

Question Answered: What part of Chicago has the most biodiversity? The city’s home to more wildlife than the usual suspects (we’re talking ‘bout you, Mr. Squirrel). Lace up your boots, folks. To find pocket gophers, osprey and cactus (oh, yes!) we’ll be heading far off the Mag Mile. Thanks to curious citizen Aaron Durnbaugh for inspiring thi...
