Alejandro Plastina
Research fuels extension programming, and good extension programming can help inform research. That cycle of information is part of what drew Alejandro Plastina to Iowa State University and what guides his work as an assistant professor and extension economist.
“A strong research program is key to a valuable extension program,” Plastina said. “And feedback from extension to research is critical to maintain the relevance of the latter and fulfill the mandate of the Land Grant System.”
