27. Controlling Citrus Disease and How to Build an Interdisciplinary Lab with Dr. Lukasz Stelinski
What does the long-term management of the citrus disease huanglongbing entail, and what are the benefits of working with a multidisciplinary group of scientists when running a lab? Dr. Lukasz Stelinski, a professor of entomology and nematology at the University of Florida Citrus Research and Education Center, discusses his approach to combating huanglongbing throughout his career, how his immigration from Poland shaped his approach to his work, and tips for staying creative and balanced throughout anyone's career.
