Hey y'all. I'm a 2nd-year #PhD student at #UGA in the #PlantBiology department 🌱. I got my BS in #Botany at #CPP. I'm currently a #NSFGRFP & UGA Presidential fellow.
I research 🌸 #FlowerColor in Geranium & using 🧬 #Transcriptomic, #Phylogenomic, & #CitizenScience approaches.
I'm also really passionate about #Diversity in #STEM as a 🏳️🌈 #Queer & 🇳🇮🇲🇽-🇺🇸 #Latinx student!
I'm hoping to reconnect with my Twitter network here

36 followers · 2 posts · Server ecoevo.socialI'm an evolutionary biologist studying floral traits in the plant families #Plantaginaceae and #Solanaceae. I've done a lot of hopping between sub-fields. My background is in #Biochemistry and #ProteinEvolution. PhD work on the evolution of binding specificity following #GeneDuplication. Postdoctoral work on #FlowerColor #Phylogenomics #MetabolicPathway evolution and #AdaptiveIntrogression. Broader goal is understanding #EvolutionaryProcesses and outcomes across #ScalesOfBiologicalOrganization.
