Fungi as Plant Pathogens
With Dr. Kristen Wickert
Plant pathology is like a giant puzzle with many different pieces that tell a story about our ecosystem’s health. Fungi are commonly an important piece in that puzzle. Dr. Kristen Wickert is a forest plant pathologist who specializes in the fungi of our Eastern forests. She will highlight some of the obvious and not so obvious fungal players that are influencing our forest composition. Dr. Wickert has a bachelor’s degree in Forest Biology from Penn State University, as well as master’s and doctoral degrees in Forest Plant Pathology from West Virginia University. All current WPMC members will receive an email invitation to this Zoom event, which will be recorded and posted on our YouTube channel at a later date.
