Inspiration Dissemination

Plants can get rusty. No joke! There is a fungal pathogen called rust which can cover the leaves of plants. Fortunately, it seems like plants have a natural ally that helps it fend off rust – yeast! Tune in to hear about PhD student Maria-Jose Romero-Jimenez's research on the PNW native plant black cottonwood, the rust that attacks it, and the mysterious yeast helping black cottonwood protect itself.

Hosted by Grace Deitzler and Lisa Hildebrand.

What is Inspiration Dissemination?

Inspiration Dissemination is an award-winning radio program that occurs Sunday nights at 7PM Pacific on KBVR Corvallis, 88.7FM. Each week on the program, we host a different graduate student worker from Oregon State University to talk about their lives and passion for research here at the university. By presenting these stories, we can present the diverse, human element of graduate research that is often hidden from the public view.
