Adam Adaskaveg (Miles lab) was among the top prize winners for his poster “Temporal evolution of FRAC 11 fungicide resistance in Colletotrichum fioriniae populations from Michigan high bush blueberry (1999-2024)” at the 21st Reinhardsbrunn Symposium (April 2026 Friedrichroda, Germany). This premier, long-running event occurs only once every three years, and brings together global experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest research in fungicide resistance, molecular mechanisms, and sustainable control technologies. "Attending this meeting couldn’t have come at a better time for me,” Adam says, "aligning perfectly with my current work and giving me a chance to share ideas and connect with others in the field. I was excited to present my research and was honored to receive a poster prize, placing so high among dozens of participants at a global meeting." Originally from Riverside CA, and a graduate of UC Davis, Adam says he likes the pace of plant pathology research, and plans to take his comps in the coming year. Outside the lab, Adam says he likes golfing at local courses like Groesbeck and Eagle Eye, and leans heavily on music to stay positive. This summer, he’ll be tending his blueberry field trials at the plant path farm. Congratulations Adam!
