Extraordinary Adventure

Paul’s journey through NC State as an undergrad and MS graduate student has been filled with new learning experiences and wonderful adventures.  He graduates with an impressive list of accomplishments from scientific publications to grower guides.  He has grown goji berries, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, Ethiopian mustard, poinsettias, gloxinias, houseplants, and hemp. He also had the travel bug, going to Alaska, Istanbul, Turkey, Slovenia, and Milano.  And we can’t forget the lab visits of his favorite pooch Groot.  To more great adventures as you pursue your PhD at the University of Kentucky!
