Senior Research Technician
I manage the summer nursery crews, seed packaging operations, and assist with breeding selections.
In the summer, I supervise 40-50 local high school students who come in to help us pollinate. Provide breeding support by taking notes in the nursery and making selections. Managed seed packaging operations to ensure trials and nurseries were packaged efficiently and without errors. I travel to winter nurseries to learn germplasm and take notes on key inbred lines.
Here's the first step for high school students
Take on leadership roles and responsibilities when the opportunities present themselves. Start getting involved as soon as you can. Volunteer, intern, work summer jobs.
