I'm proud to be a public scientist at a land-grant university with great interests in public education. I completed a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and have been a professor at the University of Florida since 2002. I have been Department Chair of Horticultural Sciences since 2012.



My research website is here along with a completely transparent list of all of my funding.

I adore science outreach and welcome opportunities to talk to your group about food technology and plant biology.

All of my funding and reimbursements can be seen here www.kevinfolta.com/transparency. I'm proud to be among the most transparent scientists you'll find, and go to great lengths to ensure every cent is clear and obvious.

My science communication program is at Talking Biotech and my podcast is called Talking Biotech also, and features discussion with experts on biotech breakthroughs and plant breeding.
