NSF-PEET Students at Missouri Botanical Garden
Student Projects |
|
As part of the training experience for the NSF-PEET project the students selected the genera for their own thesis projects. They developed their project proposals and are responsible for the management of their work. The two Ph.D. graduate students were assigned a small genus to revise as a training exercise in preparation for the larger revisions they were to undertake for their thesis work. The students are also involved in the Pilotrichella monographic process. |
