Citrus Series Podcast
Exploring the stories behind scientists and their work.
Beyond the Bench is a new podcast series hosted by graduate students at UC Riverside. These podcasts feature scientists across many disciplines, but a subsection of episodes (Citrus Series) focuses exclusively on HLB and the scientists working to combat this citrus disease. The podcast explores both research approaches and personal stories about the careers of these scientists.
Beyond The Bench is working on recording season 2, which will feature more citrus scientists.
You can listen to the first season via Anchor, Apple, or Spotify, which includes interviews with the following researchers:
