       Christopher Duff, a 2020 BAHS Grad in the Ecology, Conservation, and Field Biology Program has recently secured a position in the Plant Pathology Division of the PA department of Agriculture.       Apparently he is crossing over to the dark side, molecular biology that is. Chris says he is excited to use the knowledge he gained at Bloom to identify exotic plant pathogens in his new position.           Now we know who to call when the plants in the greenhouse get sick!  Congratulations Chris, We are so happy you are part of our BU Family!   👏 🙌
