I study ecological genomics of native and invasive plants at a large public university in Florida. Science is done in the context of social construct. We must all engage in and contribute to civil discourse.
Our summary of our work in #JapaneseKnotweed just came out in the book "Invasion Genomics" ed Dan Bock and @riuslab.bsky.social !

The illustration shows gravitational waves (GWs) that emanate from colliding black holes. GWs bear clues about these unseen objects.
🧵
On 14 January 2025, the LIGO's detectors captured GW250114, a gravitational wave signal (GWS) caused by two black holes' coalescence, each about 30 times the size of our Sun.
With a signal-to-noise ratio of 80, as opposed to 26 for GW150914...

Totally agree. More please! 🤩
My favorite moment at #NoKingsDay #NoKings #NoKingsTampa #Tampa yesterday.
My awesome kids as we’re driving through the demonstration down Kennedy Blvd! 🥰🥰🥰
So proud of my Tampa protesters!
#NoKings 🎉
The mood on this sunny afternoon remained upbeat, with homemade signs, music, & even a drum circle. Families with children in strollers & older adults were among the crowds.
It was great! 🎉💙

I’m so proud of Tampa. It was so fun and twice the size of Hands Off. I had a really hard time getting shots that reflected the crowd size, but here are a few…

Our trip to Isla de Sálvora, Galicia was awesome! Thanks so much for organizing it 💖
congrats! I still haven't published the last chapter of my dissertation 😅
If you're not convinced that Donald Trump is undermining our democracy, watch the video of what happened today to Senator Alex Padilla.
In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.
Our latest paper on Spartina: fungal interactions!

That's awesome!
Impressive new work from Javier Puy! 🤩 #sibecol @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social
Cool new Fragaria work with mycorrhiza manipulations @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social from @vtec.bsky.social
Super cool transcriptimics and experimental results from @igmestre.bsky.social @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social #sibecolIII
Yes! For diversity efforts
📢 New publication!!
Recently, I finally got to publish the last chapter from my PhD 🌿
We used a reciprocal transplant along a gradient of forest management intensity to study local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity - read more below:

This is why we need sequence data and more coverage of the full genome. There is much more going on than just methylation changes within individuals. Markers are super limited.
Prepping for the cocktail party.
