Assistant researcher Alyssa Cho and assistant Extension agent Eli Isele (both TPSS) welcomed a little boy, Solomon Joseph Isele, on August 27 at 1:36 p.m. Solomon weighed a healthy 8 pounds and 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. Both parents and child are thriving! And with role models like these, maybe little Solomon will become interested in tropical plant sciences as well!
