MU soybean scientist honored by AAAS

The world’s largest scientific society has honored a University of Missouri soybean scientist with a fellowship. The American Association of the Advancement of Science (AAAS), which publishes the journal Science, elected Henry Nguyen director of the National Center for Soybean Biotechnology at M-U. It honored Nguyen for his “distinguished research contributions in plant genetics and genomics” and in drought tolerance research.

Nguyen was also recently chosen as a visiting professor of biotechnology at the Vietnam National University-Ho Chi Minh City (VNU), in Vietnam.  The University of Missouri and VNU have an agreement to cooperate on education and research.
