Spent the last two days teaching intro to tropical turfgrass and its management to 126 students from 6 different countries at Zamorano University. It was amazing.

Working with these guys has been many things so far. For sure it has been a learning experience, but most of the time feels like a privilege. Time to bring more awards back to South Florida UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale REC C5Turf #ACSMtg

Ending of an amazing conference. Cherry on top. Dinner with Paweł Petelewicz lab + Andy.

According to Marco Schiavon, it's selfie time of the year. So happy to be with new and old friends in Phoenix! California, where are you? GCSAA Conference and Trade Show envu Mississippi State

My student Alejandra Sierra rocked her first GCSAA Conference and Trade Show seminar talking about soil and turfgrass interaction. Really proud of her and to bring education to Spanish speaking superintendents from all over the world

Appreciative of Micah Woods for spending his evening (our morning) sharing his thoughts on turfgrass science with our UF IFAS Turfgrass graduate students. Alejandra Sierra

Always a great time keeping up with new topics & research at the annual South FL Turfgrass Field Day!

Tomorrow is today! Targeted applications allow for spraying tough weeds with surgical precision saving you up to 80% herbicide. Lots to learn about how this tech can best serve turfgrass industry. Looking forward to collaborating with Ecorobotix! #UFturfweedmgmt UF IFAS Turfgrass

What an incredible experience presenting for the first time at the International Turfgrass Research Conference here in Karuizawa! We're so grateful for the opportunity and the warm welcome. Japan has been absolutely amazing! 🇯🇵⛩️🏔🎏 #ITRC25 #turf Marco Schiavon UF IFAS Turfgrass

Going back from Japan winning the graduate student competition. Huge shoutout to my PhD Pat McLoughlin, investigating environmental implications of using reclaimed water for turfgrass #itrc2025 UF IFAS Turfgrass FTGA
