It is my pleasure to officially welcome Dr. Andrew Mann (Andrew Mann) to our lab at UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department and UF IFAS Tropical Research and Education Center! Andrew has hit the ground running and is leading a #fungicide field trial for the The IR-4 Project in #avocado to test a promising compound against #laurelwilt.

Last week, I had the privilege of presenting a poster from my thesis at the 2025 Emerging Pathogens Institute Research Day at UF. It was a great opportunity to share my work, connect with brilliant minds across disciplines, and engage in conversations around infectious diseases.
