About April Dobbs
Creative interdisciplinary scientist with experience across academic and applied research, industry R&D, scientific communication, and sales training. At BASF, I plan and run field trials and data collection, oversee field operations, and host technical field tours for diverse audiences. During my PhD at NC State, my research focused on developing new ways to measure crop growth using remote sensing. I also was awarded the Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) Fellowship, which gave me the opportunity to speak with stakeholders in agriculture in Washington, D.C. Earlier in my career, I developed training content explaining clinical trial data to pharmaceutical sales teams. I enjoy turning complex agricultural or scientific information into clear narratives, managing projects that bridge research and industry, and focusing on innovation and impact.
