Grabbing drinks with friends and my professor who taught my first marine science course
Got to go back to Austin to celebrate a friend’s wedding but also got to see my prof who taught my first class in marine science! From learning about oceanography, to TAing the course and applying to grad school, I wouldn’t be here without Dr. Min! feat. the cool medals for marine science grads

A graduate student, Sarita Munoz-Gomez, wearing a black mask and black shirt, works carefully with green potted plants inside a greenhouse. She is using test tubes held in a bright blue rack while handling plant stems and flowers. Text on the graphic highlights her research on sex determination in Baccharis species at Clemson University, her previous work on floral pigmentation in Mimulus pictus, and her passion for science communication, illustration, and making plant biology accessible. The image includes the BSA Spotlight Series logo and website link (www.botany.org).
Meet our August #BSASpotlight, Sarita Munoz-Gomez!
Sarita is a graduate student at Clemson University investigating sex determination in Baccharis species using genomic and developmental approaches.
