Meetings at the University of Florida

On my last day at the University of Florida I had a meeting with Dr Charlotte Germain-Aubrey. I met Charlotte after she gave a fascinating talk at the botany conference about extinction of species in Florida due to climate changes (the link is in a previous post). We talked about doing some similar analyses for the cycads, and I'm excited to see what we will find.

Charlotte works at the Florida Museum of Natural History, and I took a picture of her with some bird collections from the late 1800s.

While in Gainesville, I also spent some time with Dr Emily Sessa. Emily is a newcomer to the University of Florida, and here she is in her lab that is being renovated.

Emily works on ferns, specifically the genus Dryopteris. She combines multiple disciplines, molecular systematics, ecology and physiology to understand the outcomes of hybridization.

She also has a fun blog on ferns: No seeds, no fruits, no flowers: no problem.

    CHURCHILL-ABRS FELLOWSHIP

    In 2012, I was awarded a Churchill Fellowship sponsored  by the Australian Biological Resources Study. 
    This blog features postings about the many stops on my itinerary as I meet other scientists and visit botanic gardens in my goal to conserve Australia's endangered cycads.
