We are thrilled to announce two well-deserved awards presented to Max Barnhart and Yen-Ho Chen from the Department of Plant Biology. 

We are excited to share a new scholarship opportunity for Plant Biology students: the Michael O. Moore Scholarship in Plant Biology. This scholarship was established in memory of Dr. Michael O. Moore (1957 -1999) who served as Curator of the Georgia Herbarium from 1990-1999.

Join us in extending a warm welcome to our two newest Ph.D. students in Plant Biology, Liz Thomas and Deanna Negru!

We are proud to share that Professor Michelle Momany was elected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology! This is a well-deserved honor for a highly valued University of Georgia and Department of Plant Biology colleague.

We want to take a moment to thank Chelsea Hargrove! Chelsea is stepping away from PBIO after nine years of service. Chelsea wore multiple hats in the Department; she was the admissions counselor, assistant to the graduate coordinator, and assistant to the undergraduate coordinator.
