Holden Ph.D. Candidate, Alexa Wagner, has been awarded a Botany in Action Fellowship from Phipps Conservatory for her research in Working Woods. The title of her proposal is “Understanding the impacts of forest restoration on demographic shifts in the understory plant community.” This is the third year of funding and her third year as a fellow. As a part of the fellowship position, Alexa will spend a week at Phipps to partake in science engagement activities including Phipps staff, local K-12 grade youth, and the general public. “I look forward to this opportunity to increase science awareness and practice my formal and informal science outreach skills,” Alexa said.
