The Plant Sciences faculty at the University of Akron are seeking M.S.-
and Ph.D.-level students interested in pursuing research topics in the
plant sciences. Research areas broadly encompass ecology, evolution,
genetics, and cell biology, such as interspecific interactions (e.g.,
plant-fungal, pl
I have plenty of dandelion greens in my yard. ;)
But really, I think that's a great idea. By reducing the grass in
yards, it would also decrease the CO2 released into the atmosphere every
time someone cuts their lawn!
I recently bought a house with a decent sized yard that I am trying to

Hello All,
The Biology Department at Northern Michigan University is working on gathering
data about graduate student access to science facilities at other

We have devised a very short survey (below) that we would appreciate your help

We seek applications to fill multiple temporary field technician positions
for a large-scale experiment on restoration of plant communities in
fragmented habitats with corridors. Technicians will join a team of several

mega-projects, often involving mass transfer of soil and
Aw, c'mon Wayne. Can't you see that they're trying. A landscaped plot is
still an ecosystem (heck, a crack in a sidewalk is an ecosystem) although
very simplified and humanized. But a landscaped plot can also be complex
and natural -- check out my yard: no lawn, just native trees, shrubs,
