Conozca a Ava Forystek, la primera beneficiaria de la Beca de Investigaci\u00f3n en Floricultura Royal Heins International<\/strong><\/a>. Esta oportunidad la llevar\u00e1 de la Universidad de Cornell a los Pa\u00edses Bajos, donde obtendr\u00e1 experiencia pr\u00e1ctica en investigaci\u00f3n internacional, forjar\u00e1 nuevas colaboraciones y traer\u00e1 ideas frescas de regreso a la industria de la floricultura. Nos entusiasma apoyar a Ava en este importante paso en su carrera y en el inicio de una experiencia de investigaci\u00f3n dise\u00f1ada para moldear el tipo de l\u00edder hort\u00edcola que espera llegar a ser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A principios de este a\u00f1o, se estableci\u00f3 la Beca de Investigaci\u00f3n en Floricultura Royal Heins International gracias a la generosidad del Dr. Royal Heins, para ayudar a los estudiantes de doctorado de EE. UU. a adquirir experiencia pr\u00e1ctica en investigaci\u00f3n internacional, construir colaboraciones globales y aportar nuevos conocimientos a la industria de la floricultura. La beca refleja su convicci\u00f3n de larga data de que las asociaciones y la investigaci\u00f3n internacionales son esenciales para hacer avanzar la horticultura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como la primera galardonada, Ava, estudiante de doctorado en Horticultura en la Universidad de Cornell, pasar\u00e1 el verano de 2027 realizando investigaciones en el Brightlands Future Farming Institute (BFFI)<\/strong><\/a> en los Pa\u00edses Bajos. All\u00ed colaborar\u00e1 con destacados investigadores que estudian la agricultura en ambiente controlado, al tiempo que adquiere experiencia en una de las regiones hort\u00edcolas m\u00e1s innovadoras del mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEstoy m\u00e1s que emocionado de que Ava haya sido seleccionada para la beca inaugural Royal Heins\u201d, dijo Neil Mattson, Ph.D., asesor de Ava y profesor en la Universidad de Cornell. \u201cLa pasant\u00eda de investigaci\u00f3n internacional de Ava crear\u00e1 nuevos v\u00ednculos entre la Universidad de Cornell, el Brightlands Future Farming Institute y las instalaciones de mejora gen\u00e9tica de clase mundial de Nunhems... Esperamos que el trabajo de Ava traiga nuevas t\u00e9cnicas, material vegetal y conexiones de la industria de vuelta a los productores con los que trabajamos en EE. UU.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLa curiosidad, el pensamiento innovador y la pasi\u00f3n por la horticultura de Ava la convierten en una excelente primera beneficiaria de esta beca,\u201d<\/strong> dijo el Dr. Royal Heins. \u201cLas experiencias de investigaci\u00f3n internacional brindan a los j\u00f3venes cient\u00edficos la oportunidad de conocer nuevas perspectivas, construir colaboraciones valiosas y aportar nuevos conocimientos a nuestra industria. Otro objetivo es que el becario experimente una nueva cultura y se sienta m\u00e1s c\u00f3modo trabajando con cient\u00edficos internacionales en el futuro. Espero ver c\u00f3mo Ava utiliza esta experiencia para avanzar en su investigaci\u00f3n y crecer como l\u00edder en horticultura.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Su investigaci\u00f3n de doctorado se centra en la optimizaci\u00f3n de cultivos para la agricultura en ambiente controlado, pero su visi\u00f3n va mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del invernadero. Espera construir una carrera en la horticultura p\u00fablica, creando espacios donde la investigaci\u00f3n, la educaci\u00f3n y la participaci\u00f3n comunitaria inspiren a m\u00e1s personas a conectarse con las plantas y fortalezcan el futuro de la industria de la floricultura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Ava afirma: \u201cPara m\u00ed, la horticultura es a la vez un arte que se disfruta y una ciencia para mejorar nuestro mundo, y haber sido nombrada la primera beneficiaria de la beca Royal Heins me indica que mi visi\u00f3n tiene cabida a nivel nacional, lo cual es un honor tremendo en esta etapa de mi carrera\u201d.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Durante su estancia en los Pa\u00edses Bajos, Ava trabajar\u00e1 junto con investigadores de BFFI y BASF | Nunhems para estudiar el rendimiento de diferentes variedades de lechuga en condiciones de cultivo en invernadero. Tendr\u00e1 acceso a instalaciones de investigaci\u00f3n avanzadas, tecnolog\u00edas de producci\u00f3n innovadoras y colaboradores internacionales, al tiempo que adquiere conocimientos y experiencia que podr\u00e1 aportar para beneficiar a la industria de la floricultura de EE. UU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cMi estancia en el Brightlands Future Farming Institute de los Pa\u00edses Bajos me proporcionar\u00e1 la experiencia internacional de investigaci\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica y la inspiraci\u00f3n creativa para convertirme en el tipo de l\u00edder hort\u00edcola que siempre he aspirado a ser\u201d.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
