After the conference I headed to Gainesville, which is north of Miami (check out the map). It's home to the University of Florida, which has the gator as their mascot and it's the home of gatorade.
I met with Dr Gordon Burleigh who works on the computational side of plant evolution. We chatted about studying ferns and cycads using a method he has developed called "natural language processing". This is a method for reading and transforming texts into data that we can use for analyses.

After that he took me for a tour of Lake Alice on campus. Above are some pictures of Lake Alice, which even has an alligator warning sign (top two images). There we saw an alligator and turtle (middle). Nearby we saw the native cycad Zamia floridana being used as a landscaping plant, and that's Gordon admiring the plants from a bridge (bottom).
