Here's a reminder on #InternationalCoffeeDay: It's OK to take a (coffee) break. ☕ "It’s ... helpful to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life as a grad student." scim.ag/4xMyqZO

People arm in arm while drinking coffee and holding papers, with the headline: Why scientists should take more coffee breaks

I still have a few ‘three of cups’ stickers to give away! If you want one I can send them to you on snail mail! 😁

I had an absolute blast at #Botany2026! Heard about fantastic science, caught up with some old friends, and made a few new ones. Already looking forward to next year!

In my >20 years in science, I remember and treasure the kind, generous, and curious colleagues far more than the ones with the H-index (not mutually exclusive, you get the point).

Major #Botany2026 FOMO, but the drive MA->OR starts this week. So, sharing from afar: I’m recruiting grad students for my new lab at OSU! Info: www.mckenzie-lab.org . We're going to have FUN with systematics, speciation genomics, methods, natural history, and more in North Am angiosperms. Reach out!

At #Botany2026, I was hoping to start recruiting for my lab group. If you are interested in polyploidy and population genetics, please reach out.

Interested in Polyploidy and Population Genetics?

Florida State University, Join the Gaynor Lab. My lab is open to both Ph.D. and master students through the Ecology and Evolution area in Biological Sciences at FSU - applications are due December 1st!
I also have funding to support a postdoctoral researcher and a technician during my first three years at FSU. The postdoctoral researcher will focus on polyploidy population genomics. The technician will help with lab work including flow cytometry for genome size estimation and DNA sequencing preparation.

If you are interested in joining the lab, please send me an email with a CV/resume and a brief explanation of your research interests and your career goals

Find out more at mlgaynor.com and email me at shellyleegaynor at gmail.com

I will be presenting at #botany2026 during the Development & Structure Part 2 session at 4:30 PM local time in San Luis 1. I will be talking about sex systems in the capitulum and the models we are using to approach questions on the links between floret sex, location, and symmetry! (1/2)
