The N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative presents the Bridging Research Ideas for Greater Extension — or BRIDGE — Symposium. Interdisciplinary teams of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from across NC State University's campus will present their ideas for research that would meet the needs of growers and those who work in Extension.

Data science is the focus of this first-in-a-series of North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative Mashups. Speakers Mark Wolff, from leading analytics company SAS, and Haley Houser, from NC State University's Data Science Academy, will highlight their research.
