Researchers Collecting Data

Caption

University of Illinois graduate student Elsa de Becker (left) and postdoctoral researcher Steven Burgess (right) collect soybean leaf samples to use in a model that measures how well crops adapt to minute-by-minute changes in light intensity. They found that grappling with these fluctuations can cost 13% of the soybean crop's yield potential.
