Although somewhat self serving (isn't that part of what a blog is?), I thought I'd post a link to an article about the the Weed Science group at UC Davis.
Staff writer for the Department of Plant Sciences, Diane Nelson put together a nice overview of many of the weed science faculty and specialists in the Department. While not absolutely inclusive of everyone in the department working on various aspects of invasion biology, weed ecology, and restoration ecology, I thought this was a good intro to many of the "Weeders".
The article entitled "War on Weeds: UC Davis Weed Science Program Fights to Tame Invasive Plants" can currently be read here:
