Check out this awesome new paper by Julia Brokaw et al.: "Prescribed fire increases the number of ground‐nesting bee nests in tallgrass prairie remnants." https://t.co/V4iuUOHHjV
I'm super excited to share my first 1st-author publication with the world!

I and my advisor, @emjosephs, tested a hypothesis proposed in a 2010 paper by @SnellRoodLab

We are happy to introduce Dr. Lea Richardson. Today @lealiatris successfully defended her dissertation about Prescribed Fire, Flowering Phenology, and Reproduction in Grassland Perennials. Congratulations, Lea!!! We are proud of you @TeamEchinacea@chicagobotanic@PBCresearch
Volunteers Suzanne and Allen are kicking off this week in the lab @chicagobotanic! p.s. if the MN field team can’t find Stuart, we spotted him here today so don’t panic ;) @PBCresearch
We had two team members give presentations today! @soph_e_chen presented her work with Lilium and then @DuckHawkFish gave a seminar talk on his dissertation work with parasitic plants! Great talks all around! @LFCollege@NorthwesternU@PBCresearch
.@echinaceaAlex & @Bumbling_along are still busy as bees doing data entry on species identification of 1,988 bees id-ed by @zachportman. Today they entered the 1000th bee. Here she is!(a Heriades)
After 25 years, we've had enough of Echinacea. We're starting fresh and rebranding as the Lilium Project to study Lilium philadelphicum. How do you like our new logo? #LiliumProject
