The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research, or FFAR, announced today that UC Davis Assistant Professor Alessandro Ossola is among the 10 recipients of the 2022 New Innovator in Food & Agriculture Research Award. The award provides early-career scientists with funding to conduct audacious food and agriculture research without the pressure of securing additional funding.
Alison Berry helped coin the term “climate-ready trees” years ago. Now, the work of the professor emerita in the UC Davis Department of Plant Sciences has inspired a campus-wide experiment to test species that will continue to offer delicious shade as the climate grows hotter.
