Are you looking for a PhD in the area of plant evolution?
If so do apply to join the lab for this competitively funded @gpsep.bsky.social PhD project to study the evolution of branching architecture by combing data from fossils, ferns and genes.

APG V, the 5th community-based classification of flowering #plants, is now available!
This revision of the APG #classification marks a shift from mainly #plastid-based classification to nuclear-#genome-informed #systematics.

Well, it took 10 years of rain or shine fieldwork to take the cover off my favorite #wildflower guide … but now it’s again good as new.

The heading reads: "Historical flowering data unlocked for over 2.9M herbarium specimens". The background image is a digitized herbarium specimen. In the center of the image is a bar chart showing the number of flowering records across the decades, from 1800 to 2020. The text at the bottom of the image reads: "Integrated in Phenobase", with the URL phenobase.org

Just over two weeks left to apply! I may be biased, but it’s hard to imagine a better place to do plant evolutionary biology.
