Diego and I posing next to each other after his defense in the LSU herbarium.

Diego in front of a slide that says “Plant evolution in the Andes is more complex than current phylogenomic models can explain” with lots of pretty plant photos around the text.

A celebration in Diego’s honor in the LSU herbarium.

Diego, family, me and other close friends celebrate at dinner.

I’m so proud of my grad student @evoyeyo.bsky.social for defending his @lsubiosci.bsky.social PhD thesis on macroevolution of #Brachyotum and the broader Andean flora today. Felicidades, Dr. Paredes-Burneo!! ⛰️🧬🌻🥳👨🏽‍🎓🇵🇪

Dr. Laura Lagomarsino smiling at the camera while conducting fieldwork in a tropical environment. She wears a colorful striped knit hat with red trim and a light-colored field jacket with yellow straps. Behind her is a distinctive tropical plant with large, paddle-shaped leaves arranged in a rosette pattern, characteristic of high-altitude Andean vegetation.

Meet Dr. Laura Lagomarsino, who fell in love with plants during childhood camping trips in California's redwood forests. Her passion for plant-pollinator relationships began with a magical moment watching hummingbirds visit curved flowers in Costa Rica's cloud forests.

Flyer for Target Capture DNA Sequencing at Texas Tech by the TTU Center for Biotechnology and Genomics. We provide targeted DNA sequencing for $30/sample for Angiosperms353, GoFLAG408, and other probe sets. Funds from our service go to fund a graduate student who is running the samples. We can use as little as 100 ng of DNA in 30 uL and provide at least 1 million reads per sample from a NovaSeq6000 SP 2x250 Illumina sequencing. For more information and the full text of this flyer, visit mossmatters.com/blog/TargetCaptureService.html

Interested in target capture sequencing?

@madiraibullock.bsky.social and I are happy to announce a new service at TTU. Send us DNA, get reads enriched for your probes. Angiosperms353, GoFLAG, Compositae1061 & more!

Funds go to grad student stipends and tuition!
