I'm happy to announce that I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at San Francisco State University SF State in January 2024. Our lab will continue to study how small mammals have been/will be affected by climate change. I'm extremely excited!

We are excited that our new paper, Let the Records Show: Attribution of Scientific Credit in Natural History Collections, is now online journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…. This work is in a special issue of International Journal of Plant Sciences dedicated to Vicki Funk.

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow! Wednesday 8 AM symposium on polyploid phylogenetics at #Botany2023. Check out our amazing lineup of speakers & presentations:
