Happy Pollinator Week! 🌼🐝
Long before humans cultivated crops, plants and pollinators were building the eighth wonder of the world: pollination. Today, pollen continues to tell the story of how plants reproduce, evolve and sustain ecosystems, supporting much of the food we eat and helping our environment thrive.
Researchers at @PurdueInsects and @PurdueBPP are studying how these ancient partnerships continue to shape modern agriculture and our environment.

When Virginia Ferris began her career in the 1950s, she was told by a prof. to give up a @Cornell fellowship so that a man could accept it … but she didn’t listen. She later became the first woman appointed to @PurdueAg faculty. Hear more. #ThisIsPurdue purdue.university/3prb4fy

It's not pretty, but it's full of answers. @PurdueBPP professor Janna Beckerman and @PurdueInsects professor Clif Sadof's "disease garden" on @LifeAtPurdue's campus serves as a living example of what #PurdueAg students learn in textbooks.
