First preprint and my first postdoc paper with @barrowevobio. We found that range size and elevation predicts genetic variation in Neotropical amphibians using ML and PCMs methods. Very happy and excited with the next stages of the review process and project!
Thank you to everyone that came out to tonight's open house! More photos to come!
We're less than a week away from our first Open Collections tour since 2020! We're hard at work getting ready for you all, so don't forget to secure your FREE ticket!

The inaugural UNM Herbarium Collecting Foray in the Zuni Mountains was a success! 20 botanists from around the state came together to capture the flora last weekend. Looking forward to next year! 🌱 @marxhannah @UNM_MSB

Through the @Mammalogists Student Science Policy Award and @AIBSbiology, I met with my New Mexico legislators @Rep_Stansbury, @SenatorLujan, and @SenatorHeinrich this week to advocate for @NSF funding and biological collections. #AIBSCVD2023
Museum of Southwestern Biology retweeted
It was an honor to meet with @AAAS Fellow Alex Halvey in the office of Sen. @MartinHeinrich in support of $11.9B of funding for the @NSF. Natl Science Fdn. funding is critical for getting undergraduates into sci careers and fuels interdisciplinary research at @UNM!
