Graduate Students Hensong Li, Xinran Zheng and Lizhong Jiang recently had the opportunity to travel to the ISGO (International Symposium on Germplasm of Ornamentals) conference in Colorado✈️

Hensong shared his experience: “It was a great honor and opportunity for me to participate in the IV International Symposium on Germplasm of Ornamentals, which held at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. This experience gave me the chance not only to present my research progress, but also to learn from others—especially expending my knowledge of ornamental plants and the importance of climate adaptation for plants. My presentation was awarded 3rd place for oral presentations at the symposium.”

Congratulations, Hengsong!
