Best descricription ever #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Had a great time talking about the evolution of dioecy in Asparagus! Giving a talk while sitting was also kinda nice lol #Botany2022

Wrapped up a CAREER proposal, and it was the most fun and challenging proposal I've ever written. As Darwin wrote..."There is much difficulty in understanding why hermaphrodite plants should ever have been rendered dioecious.” Planning to sequence hundreds of dioecy origins !

this makes me want to die

Happy Postdoc Appreciation Week, Dr. Sarah Carey! Carey, PhD, works in Alex Harkess's lab here at HudsonAlpha, researching the genomic analyses of dioecy and its use for breeding programs. Learn more about Sarah below ⤵️

Sarah is the real deal, tackling some of the most challenging sex chromosomes in plant biology, and developing tools that are allowing us to answer >200 year old questions in the field of plant reproduction. Thank you for everything you do in our lab at HudsonAlpha !!

We’re hiring! Applications now being accepted for a tenure-track faculty position in collections-based research w/a focus on plant diversity, ecology, evolution, and/or conservation. The successful candidate will also serve as Curator of the UGA Herbarium. ugajobsearch.com/postings/285039

Backebergia militaris (probably you already know the name’s reason). One of the weirdest columnar cacti.

We are preparing to relaunch STEMzone 2022 after a 2-year hiatus! We are looking for volunteers to run booths, as well as monetary and physical donations! Help us increase community scientific literacy this November!

Love having our alumni back in ATH to talk science… Alex Harkess (PhD 2016) from the @jleebensmack lab, now a Faculty Investigator for HudsonAlpha, is giving our weekly seminar – on Halloween, no less! 🎃 UGA Graduate School UGA Research PlantCenterUGA UGA Franklin College

Microcachrys tetragona is a strange, dioecious conifer colloquially known as "Strawberry Pine"(no relation to pines) that only grows in the alpine zone in Central Tasmania w/ Epacris sp., Athrotaxis sp., Nothofagus, etc. It is part of a lineage that evolved in the Jurassic.

Stoked this is finally out!

Bursts of rapid diversification, dispersals out of southern Africa, and two origins of dioecy punctuate the evolution of Asparagus biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
