I recently moved my lab to Purdue University and am looking for graduate students. We are working at the interface of population genomics, quantitative genetics and functional genomics to understand how plants adapt to extreme environments. Reach out if you would like to discuss potential projects.

Had to take a few extra minutes at lunch today for the sads. Brought on in part by listening to two therapists answer questions about grief and grieving. The other part because I am still in my year of firsts after a loss and will soon have my first birthday in 29 years without my husband.
