The annual AAAS Charles Valentine Riley Memorial Lecture was established to honor Charles Valentine Riley’s legacy and vision for enhancing agriculture through scientific knowledge. This year’s lecture will focus on emerging opportunities and challenges in agricultural pest management and technological innovations to support agricultural productivity and food security in the face of changing environmental conditions and feature a keynote address by Dr. Douglas Landis, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Entomology at Michigan State University.
Dr. Landis’s remarks will be followed by a Q&A session and a panel discussion with noted leaders Dr. Steven Bradbury, Professor in the Departments of Natural Resource Ecology Management and Entomology at Iowa State University, Dr. Megan Fritz, Assistant Professor of Department of Entomology and Institute for Advanced Computer Studies at the University of Maryland, and Dr. Linda Kinkel, Professor of Plant Pathology at the University of Minnesota. The discussion will be led by Dr. Fred Gould, William Neal Reynolds Professor of Agriculture at North Carolina State University. A reception will follow for the in-person attendees.
The annual RMF Leadership Breakfast Roundtable is an invitation-only special event with leaders in agriculture, government, academia, and research on the panel and in the audience. The roundtable will be moderated by Andrew LaVigne, member of the RMF Board, and President and CEO of the American Seed Trade Association. Invited panelists include elected officials and agency leaders. This year’s roundtable will focus on the importance of federally supported food, agricultural and natural resources research, to meet present and future challenges of the nation. We designed this year’s agenda so that Roundtable participants will be able to engage in discussion.
