Invasive Plant Research Group to Present at Student Conference on Conservation Science

 Textile Design faculty member Becky Flax has been working with Dr. Anne Bower, Dr. Mary Ann Wagner-Graham, and a group of students from across TJU in researching ways to use invasive plants as natural dye providers for commercial textile applications. The group is presenting their findings in a poster show at the Student Conference on Conservation Science held in the American Museum of Natural History from October 7-9th, 2020.

This group is one of only a few Undergraduate student groups presenting at the conference, mainly comprised of Ph.D. candidates and postdocs. The students representing the group are Irene Cooper, Amritpal Jagra, William Nguyen, Tyler Savage, Madison Bright, Nicholas Wahba, Abigail Lacour, Patrick Miller, Haileen Nunez, and Bennett Purdy.

Check out their poster below and congratulate them on their hard work!
