Good Bye And Good Luck to Glenn Nice - (Amy Deitrich)
After serving as the Botany & Plant Pathology Department Weed Science Professional Assistant for 10 years, Glenn Nice recently left to head up the pesticide program at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Glenn was a true "team player" and was an excellent resource and asset for the Purdue Weed Science program and the crop production group at Purdue. In addition to co-authoring multiple publications and newsletter articles, he designed and maintained the Purdue Weed Science web pages, gave hundreds of talks at PARP and DTC events, and provided plant identification and herbicide injury diagnosis to the Plant & Pest Diagnostic Lab.
Glenn always answered his telephone and email and gave advice and counsel to untold numbers of growers in Indiana and surrounding states. We wish Glenn the best of luck at Wisconsin!
Good bye Glenn Nice!
