We seek to understand how microbial communities mediate plant health, in both natural and agriculture settings.

It may be cold and snowy outside but in here it feels like summer #potato #greenhouse #plantsci #microbiome

Potatoes are brown,
their flowers are purple,
happy valentines from the Lankau lab researchers!

You can certainly work out an experimental design with crayon. #LankauLab

Is your microbe better than mine? #LankauLab

Diane harvesting potato plants to determine how microbes impact disease suppression. #LankauLab

Why are these potatoes important? Same species that we use to make potato chips. Rachel harvesting!

Always fun to play with liquid nitrogen in the Lankau lab #Lankaulab
