Our Guest

David Gadoury is a Plant Pathologist at Cornell University specializing in epidemiology and pathogen ecology. His specialty means he tries to learn as much as he can about how pathogen populations cause disease and then use that information to design better ways to control them.

David also hosts a podcast called Plantopia for The American Phytopathological Society, which deals with how plant pathogens affect our everyday lives.
