Jean Ristaino's Lab NC State

I was interviewed by Poppy O Toole a British chef and cookbook author dubbed ‘The Potato Queen’ on the BBC Food Programme this summer. She interviewed an Andean borne London chef, a potato grower, a plant breeder from the International Potato Center (CIP) and me. I talked about late blight research and ideas for future work. My interview starts at 24.10 minutes.
