S.P.O.R.E. Presents: Spots, Dots, and Rots

Explore plant pathogens with S.P.O.R.E.! Michigan State University’s plant pathology graduate student organization (Student Phytopathological Organization for Research and Education) will be hosting a booth during STEAM Expo Weekend at the MSU Science Festival. All ages can observe diverse plant pathogenic microorganisms and their symptomatic host plants, while learning about the historical and agricultural importance of plant diseases in Michigan. Students are encouraged to imagine their own diseased leaves with a coloring activity.
