Did you know natural grass fields help reduce injuries compared to artificial turf? Softer landings, cooler surfaces, and better shock absorption make real grass the best choice for athletes of all ages. grassisgood.org/post/safer-spr…

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the MANRRS 39th Annual Training Conference & Career Expo in Memphis, TN. I’m grateful to the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences at Washington State University for sponsoring my trip and supporting my journey. I presented my research poster, connected with students and professionals in agriculture and natural sciences, and was honored to receive the MANRRS Gold Scholarship. @NationalMANRRS @wsucahnrs #MANRRS39 #TurfgrassScience

#ResearchUpdate Interesting to see how the GA-treated plots are standing out after winter—minimal dormancy and hardly any damage! Excited to see how they hold up to traffic/wear this season. #turfresearch @FieldExperts @desertgreenturf

Congratulations to Mohammed Kyum, FTRF Scholarship Recipient Mohammed Kyum, University of Florida, is awarded the Ralph White Scholarship for $1,000. He attended undergraduate and graduate school in India. Mohammed began his Ph.D. studies in plant biology at South Dakota State University, continuing his work with the Crispr/Cas9 gene editing technique in rice, corn, wheat and barley and says he transferred to UF because “[my] interests toward applied research prompted me to transition for the pursuit of my academic goals.” Currently, he is working under the guidance of Dr. Kevin Kenworthy in Gainesville and is responsible for overseeing and managing ongoing research projects, including turf trials and lab experiments.
