My art exhibit was based on my MS research where we (Gary Munkvold, advisor) examined several stalk tissues to track down a GFP strain of
Fusarium verticillioides in plants grown at different temperatures. When it is 10 p.m., and you are by yourself working on the microscope in a dark room (and trying to stay awake), a good way to keep yourself going is to incorporate something more fun into the work you are doing. As you can see from my photos, I saved pictures I thought had nice color contrasts or reminded me of other things. In this case, infected vascular bundles reminded me Edvard Munch’s "The Scream".
I am from Costa Rica. I earned my BS and Licenciatura degree in Agronomy from the University of Costa Rica (UCR). I worked on my MS in Plant Pathology with Gary Munkvold and am currently pursuing my doctorate in Agronomy at Iowa State with Palle Pedersen studying soybean root health.
