Sarah Styan
Founder @ SMNS, LLC
I have more than 15 years of experience working in research and development for a multinational seed company. During that time I was responsible for managing, setting up and deploying production plant genotyping labs in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Chile and Brazil. I am also active in my community supporting education and science communication. I am working on developing a non-profit Community Science Center and at the same time looking for consulting opportunities in production genotyping, education and science communication.
