Welcome to Turkey Run!

We are excited to announce the 51st Midwest Southeast Photosynthesis conference to be held at the Turkey Run Inn at Turkey Run Start Park in Marshall Indiana. For over 50 years, the Midwest Southeast conference has served as an important venue to discuss new developments in photosynthesis research, from ultrafast spectroscopy and light capture to plant biology and carbon fixation.

An important goal of the MWSE PC is to provide a venue for undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers to present and showcase their work and to meet and discuss research with leaders in their field. The beautiful scenery and hiking trails at Turkey Run State Park help to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for conversation and collaboration, together with a code of conduct to maintain a safe environment for all.

In this 51st edition celebrating photosynthesis at Turkey Run, we are excited to welcome Colin Gates and Petra Fromme as keynote speakers. Other presentations from the submitted abstracts will further highlight the bright future for photosynthesis research!
