Julianna Rangel - Anyone ever heard her speak?
« on: February 09, 2011, 10:46:24 pm »
Tonight Julianna Rangel, a post doc working with Dr. David Tarpy at NCSU, spoke at Metro's meeting on grafting queens. 

She was so great - I loved her explanations and how she presented things.  If you ever have an opportunity to hear her, go to her talk.  Her slides are precise and really good and her enthusiasm is palpable.

Made me want to invest in a grafting tool even though my hands probably shake too much to ever try grafting!

Thanks, Frameshift - I'll post it on my blog - I can't listen then because I have a meeting scheduled during her talk, but if you can go, do.  She's just great, has a good sense of humor and communicates so well and with such good connection to the audience.

The notice above mentions that they have an archive of previous seminars, so I would expect this one will be added to the archive of presentations that are available at any time.

I took a queen rearing class that she taught last year and she was very good!  Very knowledgeable!
