Plant Pathology Library : New and Recommended Resources

A new exhibit is now on display in the Plant Pathology Library. It's called With Distinction: A Look at University of Minnesota Department of Plant Pathology Outstanding Alumni.

The exhibit features five of the department's most prestigious alumni, including Norman Borlaug, Bent Skovmand, Helen Hart, J. George Harrar, and Elvin C. Stakman. It will stay up for the rest of the semester and through the summer. You may view the exhibit during the library's open hours.

Susan Dworkin was on-campus last week to discuss her book about Plant Pathology Department alumnus Bent Skovlund. It's called "The Viking in the Wheatfield: A Scientist's Struggle to Preserve the World's Harvest" and it can be found in our collection.

Her talk was on the life of Bent Skovlund and the formation of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Her speech was recorded by KFAI and is available temporarily on their website.
