Looking for a PhD studentship for next academic year? I am advertising 3 projects - 2 in flower 🌺 evo-devo, 1 in crop pollination. Please get in touch to discuss or read more detail here plantsci.cam.ac.uk/research/group…

Last week to register and submit an abstract to the NZ Molecular Ecology conference (closing on Oct 31st). eventbrite.co.nz/e/25th-new-zea… How does camping in a regional park & sharing science sound? All meals, fun, and fantastic science included!

First encounter with rātā moehau in the wild up in #Northland & one of the sun #orchids Hayden Jones is researching Te Papa & Massey University #conservation #NZplants @LoraxCate

Nice to see this one out - Chromosome-level assembly of the Phytophthora agathidicida genome #KauriDieback frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Who will name new plant species? Here we show that most recently described species are endemic species, and they are often described by resident taxonomists. We need to support local taxonomists in biodiverse developing countries. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

From the upcoming #AppsPlantSci #Polyploidy special issue🌿 A roadmap of phylogenomic methods for studying polyploid plant genera (by Weixuan Ning, Heidi Meudt & Jennifer Tate) bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… @WileyPlantSci #iamabotanist #phylogenomics #botany

I will resurface to celebrate the first paper from Weixuan Ning's thesis on #polyploidy. He wrote this as 'the one I wished I would have had starting out as a PhD student.' doi.org/10.1002/aps3.1…
