Take a trip back through university history through the lens of the plots with the team behind the recent publication of more than 100 years of Morrow Plots data.  Meet the scientists currently managing the plots and their colleagues in the University Library, University Archives, and Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) IT who helped bring the data (gathered from a handwritten archival notebook, printed farm reports, and decades of digital records) together. See some of the most fascinating historical records documenting the plots and learn why this enduring experiment at the heart of campus is still scientifically significant today.  

With the participation of: Andrew Margenot, Assistant Professor and leader of the Soils Lab Maia Rothman, Research Technician Bethany Anderson, Natural and Applied Sciences Archivist Sandi Caldrone, Research Data Librarian Josh Henry, Associate Director of ACES IT.
