The following are highlights and updates about samples and questions recently received in the Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic.
As you read this the specialists and staff in the ISU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic are packing their microscopes, reference books, Sharpie markers and assorted diagnostic supplies for the grand move to their new location.
We are moving! The PIDC will move to the newly built Advanced Research and Teaching Building (ATRB) here on campus in March, 2018. This new space will allow us increase the quality of service we provide and we are very excited for this change.
The PIDC staff processed a total of 2581 samples in 2017. The bulk of our samples originate in the state of Iowa (2556), while 29 samples (~1%) originated from other states in the US, mainly from the Midwest.
