Interested in target capture sequencing?
@madiraibullock and I are happy to announce a new service at TTU. Send us DNA, get reads enriched for your probes. Angiosperms353, GoFLAG, Compositae1061 & more!
Funds go to grad student stipends and tuition!

We provide targeted DNA sequencing for $30/sample for Angiosperms353, GoFLAG408, and other probe sets. Funds from our service go to fund a graduate student who is running the samples. We can use as little as 100 ng of DNA in 30 uL and provide at least 1 million reads per sample from a NovaSeq6000 SP 2x250 Illumina sequencing. For more information and the full text of this flyer, visit mossmatters.com/blog/TargetCaptureService.html

Hey fellow botanists! Interested in hearing about some of the research I've been doing for my PhD? Check out my talk for the @AmSocPlantTaxon webinar series THIS FRIDAY at 12pm CDT 🌱🌻🏜️ Register here: tinyurl.com/BullockASPT
Congratulations, @MadiRaiBullock well deserved!

I’m also glad meeting one BSA students’ representative in person @ajayibenmi and other fellow Nigerians doing cool stuff in Botany.
In the same vein networking with different kinds of people doing cool stuff in Botany was my highlight for #Botany2024

The @TexasTech @mossMatters Lab gave amazing presentations at #Botany2024! Huge congratulations to @oluwaseunflora1 for her first national conference presentation. Happy to have all of these wonderful lab mates!

We currently have 4 job openings for Assistant Professors in our department. We are looking for a behavioral ecologist, a global change biologist, a microbial geneticist, and a developmental neurobiologist. depts.ttu.edu/biology/People…
Wake up, honey: new phylogeny of flowering plants just dropped!
Over 9K species, 58% of genera, and all 416 families inferred using Angiosperms353! Out now in Nature - congrats to the @KewScience team and SO MANY collaborators!

Very important to note that a paper of this scale would not have been possible without:
- Herbaria! especially @KewScience
- a global team of collaborators willing to openly share data
- advancements in efficient open source software
- investment in basic biodiversity research

Researchers call on Duke University to reconsider its herbarium closure wral.com/story/researchers-c…

@Botanical_ urges @DukeU to reconsider decision to disperse Duke Herbarium. Read letter here: cms.botany.org/file.php?file…
My letter to @DukeChronicle on the closing of Duke's Herbarium dukechronicle.com/article/20…
IMO we save herbaria by making them critical to the research AND teaching missions of universities.
Since 2020, @bceenet we've been developing teaching resources using natural history collections. Plus we have $$$ available for instructor training!

🙋♀️ My first research experience was in @NYBG's herbarium. The mentorship & experiences there confirmed that plant bio was the field for me & led directly to where I am now. I'm heartbroken for trainees who won't be able to fall in love with plants if the @DukeU herbarium closes

A timely interview where I share a bit about my trajectory, which is tightly linked to herbaria. Herbaria are treasure troves of biodiversity that allow us to study the present, reconstruct the past, and make predictions about the future, a crucial skill under climate change.

Shocked & distressed that @DukeU & its Dean @susan_alberts, a renowned biologist in her own right, could support dismantling one of the most important plant collections for research & training. It is the largest herbarium in SE USA. A destructive decision. science.org/content/article/…
