We also had one of the highest number of participants (about 160 total) that we've had in a while. We've maxed out our registration for the past five or so years so this remains a popular...

I thought I'd share a few thoughts on one upcoming meeting to put on your "I should think about attending" radar as well as three recent weed science meetings.
For your radar:
Weed Day 2014 at UC Davis will be held on July 10, 2014. I'm the chairperson for this year's Weed Day, the 58th annual Weed Day by the way. At this point, the program is a work-in-progress, but will have a similar format to previous years. We'll start off with a...
