Just gave a talk about non-random variation in flower colour along urban-rural gradients at @OE3Cofficial! Now off to the field where Hesperis is eagerly waiting to be sampled 🏃‍♂️

Can’t take a biologist anywhere without them pointing out their study species… keep your eyes out for ✨dame’s rocket✨ coming into bloom

Supplementing pollen in Hesperis matronalis (9 eastern Ontario populations down, 1 to go)

Professional #pollinators at work, plus one tag along friend (Maybe 2 if you count me)

Practising my “I’d loved to hear your spiel!” Gotta be in peak form 💪 for #Evol2023

Selection, drift, and clines, oh my! Come hear Katie Maunder on Dame's rocket flower color clines...and how they relate to urban-rural gradients. Pop Gen II, Mesilla 235, 12 pm. #Evol2023 Katie's following up on this University of Toronto EEB with @BontragerLab and myself.

First time at #Evol2023! Just gave a talk on flower colour variation and urban clines. Excited to actually listen to talks today instead of just mentally running through my slides!

Thanks Oliver!! It was great talking science with you! 🌿

Post #Evol2023 lab trip to the Grand Canyon

A glamorous end to the field season! Note to self: the average SUV is in fact not big enough to transport 2500 samples of Hesperis matronalis

Check out my highly technical and rigorously fact checked recap of Louisa Bartkovich 🪴🌸 and I’s ragweed road trip in the #EEBQuarterly

Beyond happy to have presented at Moved to @eebatwood.bsky.social on how seasonal complexity can build an understanding of flowering time in Clarkia pulchella! 🌸 Next stop Evolution! Huge thanks to Tara McGruder for her amazing illustrations and @BontragerLab for her continued mentorship!

The newly patented Plop -> Pour -> Place method for seed filtration These #ragweed seeds are done ❄️stratifying❄️ and off to 🌱germinate🌱

TSA agent: pulls stylus off my tablet “keep this in your bag so it doesn’t get lost” Me: immediately loses it in bag #CSEE2024 here we go! ✈️

Sneak preview of my #CSEE2024 poster 🏔️🌱🌸 Come check out the rest at poster 109 and let’s chat about variation in the life history strategies of Streptanthus! Research with @BontragerLab

Check out this ✨AMAZING✨ visual abstract in the #EEBQuarterly Created by Tara McGruder an equally ✨AMAZING✨ undergrad in the @BontragerLab

Headed to Montréal now and members of the @BontragerLab are psyched to be sharing some amazing research from this past year! Cannot wait to see everyone there and talk about plants! #Evol2024 Evolution Meetings

I had a pulcHELLA of a time at #Evol2024 !! Thank you again to @BontragerLab for her superb mentorship and the amazing undergraduate researchers (especially Tara McGruder for her amazing scientific illustrations) !! 🌸🌷🪻
