Some conference highlights

4/8/2013

After three days of intense talks and scientific discussions I was exhausted! But it was extraordinarily inspiring to see so much exciting and cutting edge research. And it was a real joy to see many so friends and colleagues from across the US and the world.
Some local culinary highlights: (left) beignets, which is fried dough smothered in icing sugar, and chicory coffee, and (right) an oyster po boy, which is made of battered and fried oysters served in bread; the stick of butter was for a baked potato.
Here are some links to some of the talks I enjoyed:
  • understanding the ecology of a typically overlooked reproductive stage of ferns, the gametophyte
  • how to use plant collections such as herbaria to predict future changes to our floras, in this case Florida
  • using neuroscience to “teach” software how to identify plants from the patterns of leaf veins.

    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.
