LACC Affiliated Faculty Dr. Javier Francisco-Ortega coauthored an article that examines the botanical expeditions led by David Fairchild as part of the research yacht Utowana. These expeditions were fundamental in building the collections of the Cienfuegos Botanical Garden in Cuba. The publication stems from the 31st LACC Interdisciplinary Faculty Colloquium, a February 2021 virtual event in partnership with CRI and the Department of Biological Sciences at FIU.
