It's official--we're escaping for a year!
Happy to say that we'll be on leave at the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin from August 2025-July 2026.
Looking forward to beer, travel, and scholarly learning ;)

This paper started when @3rdreviewer.bsky.social, Mike, and I had a lunch at which there was a lot of, "What do you mean when you say X?" Fun to spend time thinking about when terms get too muddy, and great work by Drew to pull it all together!

Great new postdoc fellowship for foundational plant research.
If you’re into genetics and genomics of plant reproductive evolution or adaptive convergence (incl in the cool and charismatic nightshades!) I’d be happy to talk about possible projects!
