Happy #Plantsgiving all! We were so excited to eat that I didn't get a pic of the spread. Here's a prep photo and the obligatory gin and tonic at the end of the night. So fun to spend #Plantsgiving with other botanists! @jlandisbotany.bsky.social @jharden.bsky.social Final tally: 94 sp and 42 fams!

For the past five semesters I've lead a discussion group for graduate students and postdocs centered around phylogenomics or population genomics. We read papers within the last five years. Not necessarily because they are better but the methods reflect the current publication landscape.
