I had so much fun talking about my favorite plant-pollinator mutualisms today!

I'm so excited to be seeing signs of spring in central Michigan! Last weekend was my first time seeing snow trillium, and along the trail I saw a few spring beauties. I've very excited to be past the cold (hopefully!)

Poster from my joint Plant Bio seminar a few weeks ago! It was lovely getting to share how important herbaria are to understanding adaptation and how our local herbarium serves the MSU Community!
