I'm so thrilled that this paper is now out in American Journal of Botany! This paper marks a couple of exciting firsts for me - it is the first chapter of my dissertation and my first first-author publication 🎉. I hope folks enjoy reading it and become fans of personate flowers in Penstemon!

Hot off the presses and so so thrilled. Thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social + computer vision we found something beautifully simple: Red and orange flowers bloom later than all the other colors in the eastern United States. Paper here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kwzh3QW8S...

Happy international plant appreciation day!! Shout out to this amazing Bristlecone pine and the perfect Penstemon plants that I love so much! #LetsGoPlants #IamaBotanist

Had the opportunity to chat with In Defense of Plants about my favorite plant, Galax urceolata. We dive into its ecology, genome evolution, and the fascinating world of polyploidy. Check out this week’s episode:
www.indefenseofplants.com/podcast/2025... awesome episode of @shellygaynor.bsky.social work on Galax!
Ep. 513 - The Enigma of the Galax Genome — In Defense of Plants
In Defense of Plants' Matt Candeias talks with Dr. Shelly Gaynor about the enigma that is polyploidy in Galax urceolata.

Love making maps
Here are some samples from Penstemon newberryi x davidsonii hybrid zone at Virginia Lakes trail in the Sierras
Color = flower color!

The first chapter of my dissertation with @carriewessi.bsky.social is now available as a preprint!! Give it a read if you are interested in learning more about the evolutionary history of an EXTREMELY cool floral type called personate flowers!!

Evolutionary genetics focussed friends!! Has anyone successfully applied for the NRSA F32 (postdoc level) fellowship in the past 3 years? Or perhaps do you know someone that has? Please feel free to send me a message if you are willing to share tips, advice, materials, etc. 😊 🌱Thanks in advance 🎉

My second batch of F2s are almost done flowering, but let’s take a moment to appreciate their beauty one more time!!! #firstblueskypost
