It was great fun working with Emerson on this paper. Meta-analysis has occupied a major portion of my research time over the past 15+ years. Many plant pathologists are now seeing the benefits of this approach to quantitative research synthesis.

Had a great time yesterday presenting an online seminar (short title: Meta-analysis in plant pathology) for the department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, Oklahoma State University. Find my slides here: www.linkedin.com/posts/emerso...
