UF Scientist Uses Work Lessons to Succeed in New Home Working Environment

University of Florida scientist Christopher Vincent is used to working with the unknown to learn new grove management practices. As a University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences plant physiologist, Vincent works to discover how citrus trees can thrive under stressful conditions. Now, during the coronavirus stay-at-home recommendations, he’s applying those skills in a whole new experience –working from home with three school-aged children.  

Like many parents, Vincent is juggling advancing a research program with attending to three children now learning at home. With a middle-schooler, a second-grader, and a three-year-old not only sharing an Internet connection but his attention, Vincent leverages organizational skills used to manage complex research projects into managing a daily schedule that intertwines work and home life.
