Minor Tweak, Major Impact

This is the first episode of our Plant Science series and we are excited to have Dr. Robb Shirazi as a guest for this episode. Dr. Shirazi received his Ph.D. in Horticulture from Oregon State University and he then worked as a Post-doctoral Research Associate at Oregon State University first in the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, then in the Department of Horticulture on a project for Quality assessment for nursery crop production. Since 2007, he has been working as a Research Horticulturist at his own Horticulture Research Group based in Hollister, California. In this episode, we are talking with Robb about his Ph.D. and postdoc projects, challenges in method development for horticulture, how minor tweaks in methods can have a major impact on the outcome, and more.
