This July I had the privilege of representing Ohio University at #Botany2025 with the work I’ve done on flowering plants in the Schenk Lab. It was incredible seeing the diversity of research being done across the country and the passion that drives it. Those who made this possible are tagged below!

Just got word that the NSF had to cancel the BSA's PLANTS program. This makes me so sad, we were doing such wonderful things with this program, fostering the next generation of diverse leaders.
