Moving to the other one, same handle!

[Daniel Jones @Dsjones552]

Hey #Botany2023, check out @thecapitulab posters on Monday to hear about some Asteraceae genomics and floral development!! Fortunate to have these three representing the lab!

New #postdoctoral opportunity in our lab group! https://t.co/YabxU3sAw8 DM with questions! RT please 🌻

[Sarita Muñoz-Gómez @biosarita1]

So happy to share that I will be joining @thecapitulab at @AuburnU this fall as a PhD Student 😊 Watch your head! 🌻

[Daniel Jones @Dsjones552]

@thecapitulab is hiring! Looking for a Postdoc to work on this @NSF funded project studying capitulum development @AuburnU. The work involves really cool developmental transcriptomics of diverse species while diving deeper with functional genetics. Reach out with questions! 🌻

[Jennifer Mandel @JenniferMandel]

🌻Ever wonder how the capitulum evolved? Excited to announce our NSF PGRP award to ask that question! Work will generate new genomic resources across Asterales, Dipsacales and Apiales to address broad questions related to capitulum development and evolution @Dsjones552 @jmbrkphd

[thecapitulab @thecapitulab]

Very excited to welcome new PhD student Guillian Hernández Casanova to @AuburnU! @GuillianHC_ will be working with us alongside @cpleisner's awesome group! So happy to have you here Guillian!

[Reid Selby @reid_selby]

All the great development and #compositae talks last week have me itching to dive into some of the weird phenotypes we've seen!

[thecapitulab @thecapitulab]

We get pretty excited when we run into a flower bed of our study organisms around town at #Botany2022!! Yay Bidens and Marigolds! @reid_selby @BrannanRose1

[thecapitulab @thecapitulab]

We can’t wait for this talk and this amazing symposium!

[Knope Evolutionary Ecology Lab @LabKnope]

#Botany2022 - If you are interested, I will be presenting on the,"Explosive adaptive radiation of Bidens (Compositae) across the most isolated archipelagos in the world" tomorrow (Tuesday) at 3:45pm Alaska time in the Dr. Vicki A. Funk Memorial Symposium: https://t.co/QP9vMeeHiE

[Daniel Jones @Dsjones552]

@thecapitulab is ready for an awesome #Botany2022 meeting! Be sure to check out @BrannanRose1 (PCB004) and @reid_selby (PDS010) posters this evening if you’re at the meeting to hear about their amazing conservation genomics and flower development work!

[jmb, phd @jmbrkphd]

Wow, that was quick… Our work on the genetics of leaf anatomical variation in sunflower (w/grad student @ashley_m_earley and former postdoc @AndriesTemme) is already up on @ThePlantJournal’s website. 🌻🍃🧬 @UGAGradStudies @UGAResearch @PlantCenterUGA https://t.co/Ip9AWnOhT2

[jmb, phd @jmbrkphd]

I’m *very* happy to see this paper w/@ashley_m_earley and @AndriesTemme accepted for publication in @ThePlantJournal. Click through to learn more than you ever wanted to know about the genetic basis of variation in leaf anatomy in sunflower! 🌻 https://t.co/fXLnT35IyX

[Dr. Nora Mitchell 🌻 @nora_flora10]

Been having some mental health struggles, so I barely registered this as a win, but our latest work on the Texas sunflowers 🌻 is out in Early View in @journal_evo! And #openaccess

https://t.co/3SnnNMJDcY

[Knope Evolutionary Ecology Lab @LabKnope]

Excited to see this out in print and open access online with @theAGA_org! Assembling a genome is hard, assembling a very large hexaploid plant genome is a Herculean task, but lead Renee Bellinger made it all look too easy. A genome for Bidens hawaiensis.

Endangered plant emergency 📢🆘: blushing Layia (Layia erubescens B.G. Baldwin), is a new species from California described on the brink of extinction due to degradation of coastal dune habitats. The ray corolla "blushes" in age from white to pink to rose.

[thecapitulab @thecapitulab]

We are so excited for #Botany2022! Three abstracts submitted from our lab! Can't wait to share our (very new) science and get to meet and chat with people at a big in-person conference!! (big plus for it being Alaska) @BrannanRose1 @reid_selby @Dsjones552

[thecapitulab @thecapitulab]

@ANSchmidtLebuhn This is incredible! Such amazing diversity in form
