Jessica Rupp wins Philip White Memorial Award
The Philip White Memorial Award is a study award made in honor of Dr. Philip R. White, an eminent pioneer, teacher and researcher in plant cell and tissue culture techniques.  The award is used to help with expenses to further study plant tissue culture by acquiring specialized training in a plant-tissue-culture related technique not available at his/her home institution, by traveling to another laboratory. A stipend of up to $650 is awarded yearly for travel to, and training at, an institution of the awardee's choice. Jessica will be using this award to travel to the annual meeting in June held in Providence, Rhode Island.  Jessica is working with Dr. Harold Trick and Dr. John Fellers.
