I’m so proud of my grad student @evoyeyo.bsky.social for defending his @lsubiosci.bsky.social PhD thesis on macroevolution of #Brachyotum and the broader Andean flora today. Felicidades, Dr. Paredes-Burneo!! ⛰️🧬🌻🥳👨🏽‍🎓🇵🇪

It was such an amazing experience to grow, learn, and laugh together this past year with @lcorleto08.bsky.social. Already missing her!

Meet Dr. Laura Lagomarsino, who fell in love with plants during childhood camping trips in California's redwood forests. Her passion for plant-pollinator relationships began with a magical moment watching hummingbirds visit curved flowers in Costa Rica's cloud forests. #Botany 🧪 wp.me/pdRZhH-m9q

Ice cream was in order because we had a couple something’s to celebrate: @evoyeyo.bsky.social submitting a major paper and @lcorleto08.bsky.social wrapping up her @lsulagniappe.bsky.social year! #LagoLab @laymonstera.bsky.social @justkathe.bsky.social
