Welcome CSHL Plant Science Course Alumni

Since 1981, the CSHL Frontier & Techniques in Plant Science course (aka plant course) has been training the next generation of plant scientists. First led by Frederick Ausubel, John Bedbrook, Gerard Riedel, and Stephen Smith, the CSHL plant course alumni community is now 550+ strong (Honor Roll).
