Career Advising & Professional Development has been working hard to put together some great career exploration opportunities over IAP, and we thought you might be interested in our site visit to Indigo Agriculture (500 Rutherford Ave, Boston, MA 02129) on Wednesday, January 30th, 2019 from 12:00 noon - 1:30pm.

To attend, you must RSVP in CareerBridge under Events > Fairs & Events > Indigo Site Visit<https://candidate.gradleaders.com/MITGECD/Candidates/Login.aspx?pid=3624&companyEventID=65860>
This visit will include a presentation with time for questions and discussion, lab tours, and lunch. We hope you’ll come visit Indigo Agriculture and learn more about how they’re working to harness nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet.



More About Indigo Agriculture
Inspired by insights from the human microbiome, Indigo started with the hypothesis that microbes living inside the plant (endosymbionts) are vital to their health, but we found that some of these important microbes were being reduced by modern agricultural practices. By using sophisticated genomic sequencing and computational bioinformatics, Indigo has assembled what we believe is the world’s largest database of genomic information from these microbes. We apply algorithms and machine learning to this database to predict which microbes are most beneficial to the plant’s health. The resulting products complement a plant’s natural processes to improve health and development across each phase of life, while boosting crop yields. Visit their website<https://www.indigoag.com/> for more information.
