A Women in Crop Science Conversation with Araceli Torres

I met Araceli 15 years ago when I was a PhD student at CIMMYT (the Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico), doing field research at the station in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora. Araceli was working in the wheat physiology team that was operating out of the building across the walkway. We used to run into each other frequently and Araceli impressed me with her energy and wisdom, both very useful and inspiring to me as a student and later a young researcher at CIMMYT. Araceli very efficiently runs a large operation and is also a resourceful person that many turn to for advice.
