SUMMARY:How Scientists are Using Genetics to Protect Ramps
DESCRIPTION:Ramps (Allium tricoccum Aiton)\, or wild leeks\, are perennial herbaceous plants native to the forests of eastern North America and valued for their distinctive flavor and cultural significance. Despite increasing harvest pressure\, relatively little is known about their genetic diversity or\ntaxonomic boundaries. While ramps reproduce both clonally through bulb division and sexually through seed production\, the extent to which these modes shape population diversity remains unclear. Additional uncertainty surrounds species delineation within the group\, with as many as four taxa historically proposed. \nDr. Estep’s research provides the first preliminary genetic evidence supporting the recognition of a second ramp taxon—narrow-leaf ramps. His colleagues are expanding their surveys to verify other Ramp species. Together\, this work establishes foundational genetic tools for\nunderstanding ramp taxonomy and informs conservation strategies for this increasingly exploited forest species. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:First in Freedom: North Carolina and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:APP STATE Presents A lecture by Dr. Karl Campbell The state of North Carolina had the American Revolution in mind when it authorized our license plates to read “first in freedom.” Given the more prominent roles played by other states–such as Massachusetts\, New York\, Pennsylvania\, and Virginia—on what basis does North Carolina make this claim\, and how does it hold up under historical scrutiny? \nDr. Campbell\,  will reexamine the stories\, controversies\, and ongoing debates about the Ol’ North State’s contribution to the American Revolution. This lecture will suggest that the events of 250 years ago are not just a patriotic history to celebrate but a sacred obligation to fulfill. \nWebsite
