It is official! DR. @michellezavala.bsky.social defended a very impressive dissertation today!! With friends, family, stomata cookies, and Ecuadorian Guinea pigs cheering her along! We understand so much more about the consequences of hybridization to the evolution of physiological traits!! #proudPI

Hamilton Lab members are excited for the upcoming #EvolTREE meeting! Kyra will present our genetic conservation program in black ash , Michelle will discuss climate, hybridization, and stomatal evolution (tinyurl.com/y5rwu8eu), and I will discuss genomics-driven monitoring. Hope to see you there!!

Super sad to be missing out on #Botany2025, but Hamilton Lab is represented by @sammymuraguri.bsky.social - be sure to drop by his poster to learn about the genomic architecture of adaptive introgression across repeated contact zones between two sister Poplar species #PopUpPoplars
