Welcome to part III of the Lewis Lab Series. This episode features  Dr. Jennifer Lewis, an adjunct professor at the University of California Berkeley as well as a few of her lab members, Nate Diplock, Jamie Calma, and Mael Baudin. In today's episode, we wander through the Lewis Lab to dive into how diversity, equity, and inclusion can foster a culture of scientific excellence!

This is the first of a three-part series featuring Dr. Jennifer Lewis who is an adjunct professor at the University of California Berkeley.  We discuss the devastating citrus greening disease also known as HLB. Jennifer Lewis leverages the field's current knowledge in genetics and bioinformatics to discover new potential methods to help fight against this disease.
