Emily attended the Evolution conference in Austin, Texas this year, and there were two presentations about the project she has helped with on evolution of the angiosperm family Goodeniaceae. Rhodes College undergraduate Pryce Michener presented a poster about phylogenetic analyses to resolve relationships in Goodenia Clade C, and project PI Dr. Rachel Jabaily gave a talk covering all of what has been accomplished during this NSF-funded research over the past several years. Her talk was recorded, and you can see it on Youtube!
