Greetings all,
My name is Eric Hobson, a Doctoral Student in Plant Pathology at Ohio State University,USA. My research centers on bacterial colinization in cereal crops as well as identifying potential antimicrobial compounds. I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of labs across the United States focusing on a broad array of plant science from studying microbiomes, defense gene expression in the SA pathway, to identifying mode of actions of potent antimicrobial defensins.
During my undergraduate work, I had the honor of interacting with policy makers, scientist, and farmers. I have always believed that it is our duty to take the intricate science we know and communicate that across all level of understanding. I look forward to cultivating similar conversations within in the Plantae community moving forward!
