Marcus Warwell, Forest Geneticist
Artemis Moon TreesForests & Plants - Ph.D., University of Minnesota
- USDA Forest Service
- As a forest geneticist, I oversee seed orchards, seed extractories, and seed bank resources. These resources supply cost-effective, genetically diverse, and genetically appropriate seeds for different places across the country. As part of the Moon Trees project, I am involved in the growth and development of tree seeds.

Stan Krugman, Geneticist
Artemis Moon TreesForests & Plants - USDA Forest Service
- Stan Krugman used his expertise to determine which tree seeds to send into orbit aboard Apollo 14. To make sure the trees were well taken care of, Krugman helped determine which tree species each organization should get based on their location and climate conditions.
