In August, our team's Rip Weaver along with Extension Specialist Dr. Amanda McWhirt attended the American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS) annual conference in Chicago. The UADA Extension faculty and staff were honored with two awards for creating Outstanding Educational Materials: one for the 2021 Southeastern Strawberry School webinar series, submitted by Dr. Amanda McWhirt (co-coordinators of this project include Dr. Aaron Cato and Lizzy Herrera) and another for the Agricultural Water & Microbial Water Quality Profile fact sheet series, submitted by Rip Weaver (co-authors of this resource include Dr. Amanda Philyaw Perez, Dr. Natacha Cureau, and Julia Fryer).
Other conference activities they participated in included moderating workshops and oral sessions, presenting posters on research and outreach, and even coordinating a showcase of the musical talents of Dr. John Clark on his career in fruit crop genetics and breeding.
