BioClub pulled off such a great PhD panel event with graduate program coordinators visiting from the University of Minnesota. Students learned about the PhD application process, what makes a strong application and the ins and outs of the PhD journey. #katies #gradschool #phdchat

Biology faculty Prof. Rahul Roy recently was part of a team that cracked the chemistry of a black nectar producing flower that gets pollinated by birds. Check out the jet black nectar in the flowers.

[Rahul Roy @RoyRahul86]

Happy to share that the chemistry of the black nectar of Melianthus is now published. It started with a discussion with @rachelvannette at a conference about this sp and finding out that it grew on the UC Davis campus, expediting the access to it. Haha! https://t.co/ChJnCb8Vrf
