Professor Charlotte Biltekoff is featured in episode six of UC Davis' new Unfold Podcast. The podcast is in its first season, and is exploring the research done at UC Davis to make agriculture more sustainable, and coming up with potential solutions to feed two billion people by 2050.
Clarivate Analytics has released its annual Highly Cited Researchers list for 2019, and FST's own Professor David Mills is one of 16 faculty from UC Davis on the prestigious list.
All of the UC Davis researchers are listed in a UCD News article by Andy Fell. He explains, "the list identifies exceptional scientists and social scientists who have demonstrated significant influence by publishing multiple papers that rank in the top 1 percent by citations in a particular field and year, over a 10-year period."
Congratulations to Dr. Mills and his team!

The Slupsky Lab has released a fun video about citrus greening disease (Huanglongbing or HLB), and how Californians can band together to prevent the spread and the end of fresh citrus for us all.
The video shows symptoms of the disease on citrus trees, and urges anyone who notices a tree with the symptoms to report it to 1-800-491-1899.

Congratulations to the researchers in the Harris Lab, who won a UCD Lab Safety Award!
Labs across the campus were assessed by the School/College (College of Letters and Science, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, College of Biological Sciences, College of Engineering, School of Veterinary Medicine, School of Medicine); each lab's review/audit/inspection findings were weighed against those within their School/College.
The Safety Services Lab Safety Awards are part of our commitment to recognizing labs with a strong safety emphasis who are doing their part to Think Safe.
