I successfully defended my Ph.D. today!

I showed this video during my talk to highlight all the fieldwork that I did in the Andes, enjoy!

I’ll be conducting fieldwork in Bolivia for three weeks with the support of the University of Idaho Stillinger Herbarium!

I’ll also be traveling with Diego Morales-Briones, David Tank, and John Chau.

It’s going to be good!

I’ll be doing fieldwork in the southern Peruvian Andes for a month starting today! I’ll be traveling with my lab mate Diego Morales-Briones, with funding from the University of Idaho Stillinger Herbarium!

The search continues! This year I’ll spend seven weeks of the summer looking for Bartsia and Castilleja in Ecuador and Peru. The Andes in both countries have a great diversity of species and these are of great interest for phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses.

The trip will be funded by the University of Idaho Stillinger Herbarium through its grant for botanical expeditions

 

I’ll spend the next month and a half in Colombia hiking the Andes and the páramos collecting beautiful Bartsia and Castilleja!!
