Learn about the people behind the science at CIMMYT. The Breaking Ground series aims to give a human touch to our science by showing the people behind it and their stories. This series is our chance to highlight the great wealth of our organization: its people. Our drive behind the Breaking Ground series is to support scientists by providing recognition for their work and to share knowledge and bring people together by learning about colleagues’ activities and accomplishments. We believe that Breaking Ground helps show the world our work and helps tell stories about what CIMMYT does it also helps to highlight our staff. Additionally, we are able to generate interest about diverse areas of work CIMMYT specializes in. We are very proud of our scientists at CIMMYT and the stories we have been able to share from them in our Breaking Ground series up until this point. We hope to continue this series far into the future as new scientists continue to bring new and fresh perspectives to CIMMYT, driving our innovation forward to meet current challenges.
