Year Two:
As PMB students enter their second year, they must be advised or co-advised by one PMB track faculty member for the duration of their Ph.D. thesis. If co-advised, the primary advisor (thesis mentor) has to be a member of the PMB track. The proposed prospectus committee must contain at least one PMB member (not including the thesis mentor). As a member of the PMB, we expect students to also attend and present one research talk at the weekly Botany seminar series, and present a lecture or poster at the annual plant biology retreat (spring semester).
