I'm looking forward to being in Athens, GA later this month for #Evol2025! I'll be looking to meet folks and learn about the big questions (and new, exciting answers) in evolutionary biology for possible stories in @quantamagazine.bsky.social. Hit me up if you'll be there and want to chat.

#WithoutNSF I wouldn't have had the opportunity to complete a formative NSF-REU, where I encountered the weird and wonderful Polygala lewtonii (see: my cover image), a mixed-mating plant with below-ground (!) flowers which launched my research in plant reproductive biology and took me to my PhD

Hello, Bluesky 💙! Here's a little intro post! 📌
I'm Elena, and I'm a PhD candidate at VCU! I'm a botanist at heart, working on self-fertilization and sexual system variation in plants. 🌱 Currently based in #RVA. 🌇 Ride-or-die for #rstats 💻 My inbox is open - I'm on the hunt for a postdoc! 👀
