"Students should realize that doing science is a fun process and it is our responsibility as scientists to instigate the curiosity in them." Investigator @SivaSankariIMS visited @PCHSHalls #science classes where students learned about the importance of microbes in plant health.

🔬🌱TY to @ScienceStowers researchers, including Dr. Siva Sankari, for visiting @PCHSHalls science classes! Students explored host-microbe interactions through a hands-on lab with alfalfa plants & bacteria, gaining real-world STEM insight. 🧡🖤 #PCR3Proud #RealWorldLearning
