The Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station's rich history of excellence and innovation makes Michigan State unique among state research institutions. Throughout the years, the MAES has funded the visionary work of scientists whose ideas sometimes were met with uncertainty, but ultimately led to advances that have benefitted people, the environment and the economy around the world. This issue of Futures profiles the work of several relatively new MAES scientists who are continuing to serve as catalysts for multidisciplinary research in cutting-edge areas.
