The dream team! I was so lucky to work with you at Museum of Southwestern Biology, and can't wait to see what you put your brains to next.

🚨New Paper Alert🚨 Together with Harpo Faust and Hannah Marx, PhD I synthesized botanical data from across New Mexico to find patterns and gaps in biodiversity info. Data, code and resources are all freely available. Thanks to Museum of Southwestern Biology and the botanists who made it possible. 1/2
