Seminar by Dr. Leighton Reid on Tropical Forest Restoration

Lab alum, Dr. Leighton Reid (C'06) was in town this week to give a Biology Department seminar on his restoration ecology work in Costa Rica. He and I were also able to complete a manuscript and get caught up all on the excellent work he has been doing with the Center for Conservation and Sustainable Development at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Here is a link to Leighton's BLOG. Leighton was also able to spend time with Shelby in the Herbarium and learn about the work she has been doing in her Fellowship this year.
