Good news- the #LagoLab is at a steady state! Incoming grad student @ca-haus.bsky.social moved into Baton Rouge yesterday. He’ll be at #Botany2026 too! 🎉 Campbell will be the first grad student who doesn’t have any overlap with my first grad students. A true generational turnover 😭.

After seven fun, productive years as a #LagoLab PhD student, @laymonstera.bsky.social is off to a postdoc Berkeley with Sarah Kocher. I’m going to miss her but she’s so ready for her career ahead!! (We’d all be crying in this goodbye photo if we weren’t going to see her on Sunday at #botany2026 😅)

My heart is full— I’m so grateful to be part of these brilliant scientists’ journeys into full realization of their capacity and career goals. They’re also just a really fun hang and my favorite group of people, the hands down best part of my job. #LagoLab #botany2026

This July I had the privilege of representing Ohio University at #Botany2025 with the work I’ve done on flowering plants in the Schenk Lab. It was incredible seeing the diversity of research being done across the country and the passion that drives it. Those who made this possible are tagged below!

So proud of @ca-haus.bsky.social who presented a poster at his first Botany!! #Botany2025 He’ll be applying for grad school in the Fall—drop him a message if you are recruiting new Masters students interested in flowering plant research! 🌸🌿
