Lidysce Andrea Mata is a new visiting scholar in the Meyers’ weed science lab. She was born and raised in Honduras, where she’s currently senior undergrad student at Zamorano University. She joined the Meyers’ lab to fulfill a “professional experience” requirement to graduate from the Agricultural Sciences and Production major at Zamorano University, but also because she is deeply passionate about Horticulture production. In the near term, she aims to get all the possible knowledge in all aspects of weed science, collaborating closely with the weed science lab team. Her ultimate aspiration is to pursue a graduate degree in Horticulture, while nurturing a vision to make a meaningful scientific contribution that extends to her homeland, benefiting both her country and the realm of science.
