Welcome to the first edition of my newsletter in its new format. The newsletter is drawn from an array of news, stories, events, and other information posted to our Newsroom, a new website launched by the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. This newsroom is a gateway for faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the various communities we serve to connect to our research; our faculty, staff, and student achievements; the multitude of events we host; and the work we do locally, nationally, and internationally. I urge you to visit the Newsroom regularly!
