39. Citrus Genome Editing and SciComm with Dr. Karl Haro von Mogel

Published: Oct. 12, 2021, 3:31 p.m.

How can citrus genome editing help in the fight against huanglongbing, and how can we think outside the box to be better science communicators? Dr. Karl Haro von Mogel, a PostDoc in botany and plant sciences at the University of California Riverside and Science & Media Director of Biology Fortified, discusses his long-term research to protect citrus against huanglongbing and his recent research investigating face mask efficacy. He also shares how he communicates science by making awesome shirts.
