Houston, we have germination! 🌱 Now, hurry up and flower so I can see if you inherited your mother's mutated anthers and sparkly personality ✨️

Work from our lab shows that non-native milkweed can allow monarch development into the winter, creating butterflies during a season where they can no longer migrate or breed. If you want to help monarchs, plant native milkweed only. 🧪 #plant-insect #nativeplants

The role of a non-native host plant in altering the seasonal dynamics of Danaus plexippus (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) development
Abstract. Insect herbivores often experience seasonal fluctuation in food availability, which plays important role in signaling diapause and/or migration.

Had a blast at #Evol2025. It was an honor to present my research on the endangered scrub mint, Conradina glabra, to so many brilliant scientists.

A lot has happened in the years since my first conference poster!
A picture of me standing in front of the poster I presented at Evolution 2025. Poster title: male-sterility mutations confer fitness advantage in an endangered, self-compatible mint. A picture of me, and my peer, standing in from of our poster at the 2018 American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) conference. Poster title: Benthic macrofaunal communities as influenced by a sand transfer plant.
