Want to do a PhD on why buzz pollination evolves? I will be recruiting a PhD student this Autumn (4 years, fully funded). The official ad will come at the end of summer. if you are interested in the studentship please email me so I can send you the full ad when available.

Postdoc alert! Please retweet broadly.
Come and pioneer plant historical metagenomics with us. We have exciting project to look into past microbiomes of rice. 🌾🌾🌾🦠🦠🧬🧬🧬

Marcescence hits the popular media! Love the unexpected reference to our @ESAEcosphere study.

So proud of this new @annbot paper highlighting the importance of considering the role of plasticity across perennial life history stages led by awesome collaborator Mason Kulbaba and former MS student @zebadiahyoko - I LOVE Prairie Smoke #Botany2023 doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcad100

Rousing final #Botany2023 afternoon talk by @naomibot on rare plants threatened by energy projects (solar, Li mining): there's hope, we have tools, and we can have both biodiversity and renewable energy development #Teambuckwheat
Dr. Kathryn G. Turner retweeted
Great and inspiring talk by @naomibot about threats of lithium mining (the new gold rush) and solar development to rare plants. We don’t have to sacrifice biodiversity to decarbonize! #Botany2023

.@ShellyGaynor introduces nQuack, a program to ID autopolyploids w/sequencing data - many theoretical advantages over similar tools like nQuire. Will be available on GitHub soon!
Very grateful for folks like Shelly who do the math so I don’t have to… #Botany2023

Busy day of polyploidy! @E_HerschGreen @Plant_Phillips and @ShellyGaynor lead off a great colloquium! #Botany2023
Dr. Kathryn G. Turner retweeted
Speaking of nquire, @JLandisBotany shows some errors with known Glycine polyploids and the limitations of estimating genome size with GBS data
Always great to check out what’s possible in groups that can leverage the resources of crop relatives! #botany2023
ALT Can we infer ploidy from sequence data? Yes and no- nQuire results miss tetraploids with GBS data

@LocalPlantNerd found that harvest, use, and sustainable usage of mushrooms is understudied and laws and regulations need extensive clarification at both large and local scales #Botany2023

What was the best punny talk / poster title you've seen at #Botany2023 ??
Dr. Kathryn G. Turner retweeted
Interesting comparison of plasticity in Arabidopsis across relict and colonizing populations by Maya Shamsid-Deen. They don't differ in plasticity, but do seem to on a trait to treatment level! Overcoming the fence could lead to negative selection on those traits. #Botany2023
Dr. Kathryn G. Turner retweeted
More complex than meets the naked eye, Rosemary Glos tells us about the function and diversity of Mentzelia trichomes. Plus a great example of all the information herbarium specimens hold! No consistent patterns across hypotheses yet, but cant wait to hear more! #Botany2023
Dr. Kathryn G. Turner retweeted
It’s up on the job board! #Botany2023 if anyone is interested we can definitely make some time to talk research!
