My name is Sriram Parasurama and I am a second year PhD student in the graduate field of Horticulture, in the School of Integrative Plant Science. The College of Agriculture and Life Science has long been a cornerstone of this University’s popularity and profits, with the plant breeding and veterinary science programs being among the top in the nation. I often find beautiful parallels between the systems I study, the symbiosis of fungi and trees, and the depth of community and genuine relational nature in which the graduate student community works together. We are all waking up to the ultimate responsibility of the scientist — undeterred defense of life and truth.
