It’s been an awesome (but hectic) summer for the CapituLab! From packing and moving to Clemson to travel for conferences/talks.
Also, our new lab space is coming together amazingly (thanks to the incredible @erikales.bsky.social)! Updates on that coming soon…

We are absolutely thrilled to share this work on CLV signaling in the sunflower family! This project was only possible through the efforts and contributions of our incredible collaborators! It also represents the CapituLab’s first preprint! (more to come soon though…)

To commemorate our move over to Bluesky, here are some throwbacks to a few of the earliest capitula grown in the CapituLab! Bidens, Helianthus and Tagetes started it all for us
