Today was Scott Nordstrom’s last day working at the Chicago Botanic Garden with the Echinacea Project. Scott completed a 13-month internship, during which he worked in the field in Minnesota, assessed lifetime fitness of Stipa plants in our common garden experiment, improved a workflow for taking x-ray images of Echinacea fruits, contributed to analysis and management of numerous long-term experiments, supervised citizen scientists in the lab, and made many other valuable contributions. It was great to have him on the team. This fall, Scott starts a PhD program at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Best wishes, Scott!
