scientist (< 10 years post Ph.D.) who is making important contributions to plant phenotyping in areas of data analytics, engineering, modeling, physiology, plant breeding, plant sciences, remote sensing, or allied related disciplines. We seek to highlight
leaders in novel research, increasing the visibility of plant phenotyping (peer reviewed publications, presentations, social media, popular press, service), supporting research between public and private sectors, developing (or following) data standard best
management practices, and/or transdisciplinary engagement, consistent with NAPPN's Mission.</span></p>
