 <p>The thousands of digital images to measure created a bottleneck in Spalding’s research. That was before he led an effort with <a href="https://chtc.cs.wisc.edu/">Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC)</a> Director Miron Livny, other plant biologists, and computer scientists to develop a proposal for a competitive National Science Foundation grant that would produce cyberinfrastructure to support plant biology research. Though the application wasn’t successful, the connections Spalding made from that meeting were meaningful nonetheless.</p>
