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.

Last weekend, we were able to conduct the first-ever controlled burn in our reconstructed tallgrass prairie! Controlled burns can help encourage seed germination, soil health, and invasive species control. We can’t wait to watch the prairie thrive this year!

The origin of maize is more complicated than we previously realized. A story years in the making from the Ross-Ibarra lab, just published in Science. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
