The winners were:
- Guelta Laguerre, undergraduate poster winner (1st place)
- Alex Ceseski, graduate student poster winner (1st place tie)
- Matthew Fatino, graduate student poster winner (1st place tie)
- Drew Wolter, graduate student presentation winner (1st place)
- James Schaeffer, graduate student presentation winner (2nd place)
Below are links to the posters and the videos. Please take some time to learn more about the exciting weed science research that is happening in California! Enjoy!
