Bacterial Leaf Streak Research: Graduate Student Scientist Profile
In the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, graduate student Terra Hartman researches bacterial leaf streak. Terra's goal is to simply learn more about this new type of bacteria that was discovered in Nebraska corn. She is searching for other plants that could also be potentially affected. Terra shares her passion for science and encourages others to pursue scientific questions and careers to make a positive impact in the world.
