Gaut et al. synthesize key lessons and outstanding challenges concerning the action of natural selection on plant genomes, revealing the power and some of the limits of population genomics to infer the dynamics of selection on plant genomes. 🔗 academic.oup.com/mbe/article/... #societyjournal

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!

New preprint is up! Not going spoil the results for you 🤓 but we looked at some “bird” vs “bee”-pollinated Penstemon hybrid zones and came away with some pretty unexpected results!

Foreground: Penstemon davidsonii, a small mat-forming sub shrub with purple flowers growing on top of a stone. Background: Penstemon newberryi, a slightly larger subshrub with pink flowers growing out of stones. All amidst a mountainous landscape.

I'm so thrilled that this paper is now out in American Journal of Botany! This paper marks a couple of exciting firsts for me - it is the first chapter of my dissertation and my first first-author publication 🎉. I hope folks enjoy reading it and become fans of personate flowers in Penstemon!

I've been making a series of videos called "What the FUNDING" that highlight all the incredible science that federal funding supports. If DOGE just fcked up your NSF grant and you wanna collaborate on a video, lmk? I'm @science_irl on insta & TT #scicomm 🧪 #nsf

Hot off the presses and so so thrilled. Thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social + computer vision we found something beautifully simple: Red and orange flowers bloom later than all the other colors in the eastern United States. Paper here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kwzh3QW8S...

Visual abstract: “we test hypotheses about floral diversity with community science data and an advanced computer vision model. Red/orange flowers have delayed flowering that matches hummingbird migratory patterns”

Happy international plant appreciation day!! Shout out to this amazing Bristlecone pine and the perfect Penstemon plants that I love so much! #LetsGoPlants #IamaBotanist

Had the opportunity to chat with In Defense of Plants about my favorite plant, Galax urceolata. We dive into its ecology, genome evolution, and the fascinating world of polyploidy. Check out this week’s episode:

The first chapter of my dissertation with @carriewessi.bsky.social is now available as a preprint!! Give it a read if you are interested in learning more about the evolutionary history of an EXTREMELY cool floral type called personate flowers!!

Evolutionary genetics focussed friends!! Has anyone successfully applied for the NRSA F32 (postdoc level) fellowship in the past 3 years? Or perhaps do you know someone that has? Please feel free to send me a message if you are willing to share tips, advice, materials, etc. 😊 🌱Thanks in advance 🎉

Hey #Botany2024 stop by my talk tomorrow morning to FINALLY hear about what @carriewessi.bsky.social and I have learned about the genetic architecture of Penstemon’s personate flowers!! Tuesday - 8:30am- Development & Structure - Grand Gallery B
