Just over two weeks left to apply! I may be biased, but it’s hard to imagine a better place to do plant evolutionary biology.

Little bit rainy this morning for our collecting foray to the Forrest D. Brown Conference Center in Cowan, but this intrepid crew gathered #herbarium specimens for more than 90 species in just 2.5 hours. That’s some real #plantpeopleFTW stuff right there. #fieldbotany #raybucknell #bisonflowers

As someone a bit earlier on in their career I gotta say I can’t thank the #botany2026 committee (and the @bsa-ecophys.bsky.social and D&S subsections) for letting me lead a symposium, it was a fantastic opportunity and I feel like a lot of great conversations were had (and connections made!)
