About our Speaker:

In her capacity as the Vice President of Science and Conservation at the Center for Plant Conservation (CPC), Dr. Katie Heineman is dedicated to improving access to biological data for conservation research and promoting synthetic research among botanical institutions. Originally from northeast Nebraska, Dr. Heineman began her work with CPC six years ago following the completion of her dissertation work studying plant ecology of tropical trees at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Her current research applies data science to plant collections records to develop smarter strategies for collections prioritization and to uncover patterns in rare plant storage behavior in seed banks. She is the project manager of CPC Rare Plant Academy<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsaveplants.org%2Fcpc-rare-plant-academy%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cmargaret_park%40fws.gov%7Ca7e0d9f6b4fb45517af808d9f250e0fc%7C0693b5ba4b184d7b9341f32f400a5494%7C0%7C0%7C637807251481910500%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=vOGLe345pswQ6aFbhaGD4HSsHkmlaLuJSqIbktde0TU%3D&reserved=0>, an online platform that integrates CPC’s Best Practice guidelines with videos and online discourse.
