Hi #Botany2025 - In my quest to never do flow cytometry again, I am collecting sequence data (radseq, target enrichment, WGS, ect.) with confirmed ploidal level. If you have samples, reach out!

Join us on Wednesday, February 5, at 11 AM PST for the next #PolyploidyWebinar! This month we have @cherrityg.bsky.social on apomixis and polyploidy in Malus and Christoph Rosche on herbarium specimens and invasive Centaurea! Sign up (if not already!) to get the zoom: www.barkerlab.net/polyweb

Please share widely - this is essential information for NSF PRFB postdocs

We also have a new NSF NRT training program, CAMBIUM, that will begin accepting applications for CAMBIUM Fellows this winter. Although the CAMBIUM website is still under development, you can find out more about CAMBIUM here: science.arizona.edu/news/univers...

I am recruiting graduate students this year to join my lab in Tucson! If you are interested in studying the evolution of plant diversity, polypoidy, and chromosomal evolution, please reach out about opportunities in my lab! Details about applying to EEB and our new CAMBIUM NRT in the thread below! 🧪
