@chukwumaemma.bsky.social Research explores an approach to clarify the phylo relationship & evol history of Alectra. Using seqdata with morph, habitat & climate traits, it aims to reveal diversification, adaptation & future ranges w/implications for conservation & understanding parasitic plant evol.

@phylojennatics.bsky.social research focuses on macro and micro forces that can influence species abundance in Silene. She is using herbarium specimen data to build a genus phylogeny. Jenna successfully extracted DNA from a specimen from 1892!

Master’s student @arisaemaguy.bsky.social focuses on the Arisaema triphyllum species complex. It has been subject to numerous taxonomic revisions over the past 200 yrs. Morgan is utilizing morphometrics, on both the macro & micro scales, to help herbaria distinguish between the species.

In today's Poetry Clinic, I address the question of how to carry forest's quiet with us. For me, the best approach is writing: note-taking while I am in the forest quiets my mind, writing up the notes afterwards seals the memories.

Congratulations to the NSF GRFP awardees! This was an especially competitive year because the number of awardees was down by 51%.
To the students who didn't get it: my heart goes out to you. This was an especially competitive year. I hope this doesn't deter you from research.

🚨 Not a drill: NSF GRFP results are NOW OUT!!!!!
But...good news and bad news.
👍 I'm *thrilled* for the grad students for whom getting this award will be life-changing, esp now.
👎 # of fellowships went down by 51%
(1000 this year vs. 2036 last year)

If a student you know received an honorable mention for the NSF GRFP, encourage them to contact their Congressional representatives! 🧪
Honorable mention here — they said this in the email:
“Although the agency is unable to offer fellowship support at this time, a subsequent announcement of additional awardees is possible subject to finalization of the agency's fiscal year 2025 spend plan”
