Happy Father's Day to the fathers and father figures who spent time with us in nature and carried us through new adventures! Photo at Yosemite National Park by Evelina Boutko

Congrats to the 21 scientists selected for our 2024 Graduate Research Grants! Diego Ferreira da Silva Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro (Advisor: João Marcelo Alvarenga Braga) for Phylogeny and Taxonomic Revision of the #Thismiaceae for the Neotropical Region. #Botany2024

Congrats to the 21 scientists selected for our 2024 Graduate Research Grants! Edward Sun University of British Columbia (Advisor: Sean Graham) for Nuclear genome evolution of #mycoheterotrophs across the monocot tree of life. #Botany2024

If you are at #Botany2024, check out two Soltis Lab @UF posters by awesome undergraduates on crop wild relatives and niche modeling! Both Tyler and Sebastian are also interested in learning more about grad school opportunities!

Not only is Laymon Ball doing a great job moderating the Phylogenomics section (Gallery Overlook D) at #Botany24 but she gave an EXCELLENT talk about her dissertation work linking pollination syndromes to biogeographic patterns in Hillieae (Rubiaceae) #LagoLab #proudlabmate

Excited to share our new paper in #APPS and software on predicting ploidal level from sequence data! Paper: doi.org/10.1002/aps3.1… Software: mlgaynor.com/nQuack/ (1/n)

My first paper was published today! 🌳

I’m stuck at home with COVID, so I had the distinct misfortune of watching Donald Trump’s speech to the RNC. What the hell was he talking about?

Friday at #IBC2024 begins with a wonderful keynote lecture by Mike Barker @BarkerLab about my favorite topic, polyploidy and genome evolution. 13% of flowering plant lineages have WGD. Most flowering plants have 3-4 rounds of ancestral polyploidy, but why? (1/4)

#Evolution2024 is kicking off! So excited to meet colleagues, while drinking high amounts of coffee. If you’re an Society of Systematic Biologists student member, please come say hi!

If you missed my talk at #Evol2024 #Evolution2024 on coexistence of mixed cytotypes with Nico Andrade, Ethan Cockey, @JLandisBotany Nicholas Kortessis Jose Miguel Ponciano and Soltis Lab @UF you can see it here: youtu.be/NmsMFPHudXw?t=…

Anonymize a GitHub repository for double-blind peer review. I just learned about this - a great solution to the clumsy situation of providing data/code but also (trying) to remain anonymous! 😎 anonymous.4open.science

New paper out today in Journal of Animal Ecology 😍 Can internal range structure predict range shifts? we find limited support with a bird dataset from Minnesota (where many species are at range limits), but I'm keen to dig in more! doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

The ROOT & SHOOT Travel Award program provides funds to attend a plant science conference. These awards support student/mentor pairs, at least one of which must be a member of SACNAS, MANRRS, or AISES. Applications due by December 2, 2024. rootandshoot.org/2025-root-shoo…

Hey fellow botanists! Interested in hearing about some of the research I've been doing for my PhD? Check out my talk for the American Society of Plant Taxonomists webinar series THIS FRIDAY at 12pm CDT 🌱🌻🏜️ Register here: tinyurl.com/BullockASPT

My final two PhD papers are out in the world as pre-prints, if you are interested in plant evolutionary ecology, genomics, range expansion and/or reproductive assurance please take a look! Also part of team #mimuluspropaganda biorxiv.org/content/10.110… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

[New Paper] is on the COVER of Science Magazine !! The FIRST genome-phylogeny of MOLLUSCS complete with ALL classes —including the mythical "living fossil" Monoplacophora— reveals how they evolved the most diverse body forms of all animals! Read for FREE: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…
