The #Onyenedumlab is making a SPLASH at #Botany2024! Shout out to the climbers 😁 New species in Aristolochiaceae | Vascular Variant Evolution and Development | Ectopic Cambia Molecular Biology | Contracting Gelatinous Fibers | Microtubules and twisting plants 🌿🌱

Hey #Botany2024 peeps! My student Sam is giving a talk on Monday 8:00 am in Gallery Overlook F. It’s his 1st ever conference talk!!! He’s a little worried no one will show up bc it’s the 1st talk on the 1st day! If you have nothing else planned, can you come show some support? 🌸

Hey #Botany2024 stop by my talk tomorrow morning to FINALLY hear about what Carrie Wessinger and I have learned about the genetic architecture of Penstemon’s personate flowers!! Tuesday - 8:30am- Development & Structure - Grand Gallery B

#Botany2024 definitely go to Ben Stone’s talk tomorrow!!! The Penstemons he works on are AWESOME

Hey #Botany2024- don’t sleep on Laymon Ball’s talk tomorrow Wednesday at 2pm in the Phylogenomics: Evolutionary Relationships session in Gallery Overlook D. It’s a beautiful, synthetic talk in her dissertation research on Hillieae (Rubiaceae) evolution! #LagoLab

We were very excited for the corpse flower

Here is another event that ESA Latin America & the Caribbean Chapter board member (Daniel Stanton) is leading. Please come and participate! #ESA2024

Excited for my first #evolution2024 and to share some of my research on Galax urceolata on Sunday at 4:30 pm in Population Genetics VI! xcdsystem.com/evolution/prog…

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=…

Many folks know this already but wanted to make an official announcement: I am super pleased to share that I will be starting my lab at Mississippi State University Mississippi State in Fall 2025! We will be recruiting grad students and a lab tech to start as soon as August ‘25
