Picture a forensics lab where instead of investigating murders, scientists are solving plant and soil mysteries. Dr. Ana Cristina Fulladolsa is the Director of the Plant and Soil Diagnostic Laboratory for Colorado State University. She studies plant samples from the community and business partners to advise on how to grow healthier plants and food. In high school, Ana knew that she wanted a career in biology. In college, an experience with a farmer in a field that could finally grow tomatoes helped her realize her life's work. Join us to learn about how soil forensics can help a community and to hear Ana's career journey.
