A lot Has happened, and we're still loving what we do

The Weber Lab has persisted and grown through these uncertain times as we relocated to Southern Illinois U, Carbondale from Southeast Missouri State U in 2019 (has it been that long already??). 

Returning to in-person classes and another grad student means that we have many hands to work on continuing and new projects. These include but aren’t limited to; ongoing phylogenetic work, field sampling, morphometrics, cataloging herbarium specimens, growth experiments, breeding system work, pollinator ecology and much more. The start of the year saw us visiting MOBOT to sample vouchers. That trip had been on our wish list for many months, but kept getting delayed due to the pandemic.  But last year wasn’t without highlights as we spent time growing and connecting (including some fun with the Brown Lab), with a Holiday Party before winter break and a picnic and visit to Scratch Brewery in warmer weather.

Three of us (Jordan Yglesia, Taylor Simmonds, Dr W) headed to TX in early spring on a hunt for *all* species of Triodanis. Our mission? To get leaf tissues, seeds, vouchers, and photos of all currently named species (n= 7). Amazingly, the weather was nearly perfect, and we had excellent herbarium and local naturalist info (from UT Austin & iNaturalist) - so the whole trip was a really big success. We could hardly believe it ourselves! This coming year, the lab will be busy processing leaf tissues for DNA work and we can't wait to grow up representatives of each species in a greenhouse and see if we can try some crosses both within and among species.

Our students did an incredible job representing our research at the SEMO Student Research Symposium. The posters looked great, and everyone was super sharp.
