Awarded Gold CASE 

“CSU Biologist Builds Bomb-Sniffing Plants” was awarded a national Gold CASE Circle of Excellence Award, the top honor in the category of Media Relations Programs and Plans. The campaign gained world-wide media attention for Professor June Medford’s work with a computer designed detection trait that changes a plant’s colors when pollutants or explosives are detected.
