Paul is a professor in the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics at the University of Minnesota. He researches cropping systems with a focus on rye as a cover crop, canola, crop rotations, alternative crops and organic production strategies.

Café Scientifique is a monthly science series for adults sponsored by the Bell Museum of Natural History. Each month Café Scientifique brings scientific research and ideas out of the museum and into an informal space where visitors can learn and discuss with one another. The Bell Museum's Café Scientifique explores science and natural history from distinct and surprising viewpoints, drawing connections between scientific research, culture, environment and everyday life.
