We’re getting excited about Botany!

Our lab will study nectary development and evolution using non-conventional models. We are actively recruiting. Join us if you are also enthusiastic about development or evolution!

None of them have done anything wrong, they're just collateral damage to Trump.
I'm a current Harvard graduate student and I found out today that I had my NSF GRFP terminated without notification. I was awarded this individual research fellowship before even choosing Harvard as my graduate school

Working on nectaries or plant-pollinator interactions? Join us for this year's Harvard Plant Biology Initiative Symposium on 'Plant Rewards' on May6/7. We have an awesome lineup of speakers with free registration. We are also offering two ECR travel grants (due April 14): forms.gle/jhTnv8pbuBxX...

Shout out to the home of my monthly column, @newscientist.com, which nailed their headline about the genetically modified GREY wolves

Being an REU intern years ago gave me so much more confidence going into my PhD and frankly changed my life financially as a student supporting myself through college. The current state of science is a joke www.science.org/content/arti...

Hydrangea aspera Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don (Hydrangeaceae) is a shrub indigenous to the mesic areas in Asia. In their study, Schenk et al. determined that Hydrangeaceae underwent three significant shifts toward increased diversification rates, although H. aspera was not part of the radiations. A similar pattern of three significant shifts toward increased diversification rates were also identified in Loasaceae. Although an ecological transition accompanied by a speciation rate increase was noted in a clade of Philadelphus (Hydrangeaceae), and a biogeographic transition occurred with an increased speciation shift in a clade of Deutzia (Hydrangeaceae), the only clade that exhibits a phylogenetic pattern consistent with ecological opportunity was Mentzelia section Bartonia (Loasaceae), which diversified in Mesoamerica where the two families originated.

Comparative diversification analyses of #Hydrangeaceae & #Loasaceae reveal complex evolutionary history as species disperse out of Mesoamerica
