Exploring Plant Cells
The Plant Cell Atlas is a community of researchers working to understand and map plant cells and inspire the next generation of students. At the Plant Cell Atlas booth, you can use microscopes to explore plant cells and enter a raffle to win a digital microscope. While visiting our booth, learn about Dr. Marie Clark Taylor, the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in botany from Fordham University. Dr. Taylor was also a pioneering science educator and popularized the study of live plant cells under microscopes in classrooms.
