Congrats to @JanetMansaray, the first #LagoLab @LSU_BioSci grad student to defend her PhD dissertation! She gave an excellent public defense on #Centropogon phylogenomics, macroevolution, and as a system for CURE course inquiry. The finish line is in sight!

Our weekly tropical plant ID night in the LSU herbarium was extra successful tonight! The newest #LagoLab undergrad Nolan dove right into the deep end; he went from learning opposite vs. alternate leaves to IDing his first plant (a Chloranthaceae!) within an hour.

Come to poster A12 #evolution2024 If you want to learn about ayahuasca phylogeography!
This is Elanor’s honors thesis where she mixes her bio and religious studies majors. Come support undergrad research!

Fantastic synthetic overview of #geogenomics in Neotropics from former #LagoLab postdoc @botAna_Bedoya at #IBC2024. And her call to integrate natural history of study taxa for optimal study design and interpretion. Check out her related manuscript here: bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.….

As the first @evo_lagniappe cohort wraps up and heads to their next big thing, the #LagoLab celebrated @ShelbyOliveaux’s successful year studying phylogeny and chemical evolution in the coffee family.
We are excited to see what she does as a PhD student at @UNC_Biology!

I’m cheering on all participants in the @systbiol Mayr Symposium today, but special shout out to @LSU_BioSci students @L_DBall from the #LagoLab and @heru_hdk from @JakeEsselstyn’s @LSU_MNS lab! Congrats to all, it’s an honor to be included no matter who is selected! #evol2024

Two of #LagoLab members casually dropped in conversation that they got a *major result* today, one they have been working towards for a year!
Anyhow, congrats @AislinnMumford and @ShelbyOliveaux! Learn more about the updated #Palicourea phylogeny at Shelby's #Evol2024 talk!

Not only is @L_DBall doing a great job moderating the Phylogenomics section (Gallery Overlook D) at #Botany24 but she gave an EXCELLENT talk about her dissertation work linking pollination syndromes to biogeographic patterns in Hillieae (Rubiaceae) #LagoLab #proudlabmate

Hey #Botany2024- don’t sleep on @L_DBall’s talk tomorrow Wednesday at 2pm in the Phylogenomics: Evolutionary Relationships session in Gallery Overlook D. It’s a beautiful, synthetic talk in her dissertation research on Hillieae (Rubiaceae) evolution! #LagoLab

So proud of @elanorfuller_ for graduating with honors @LSU_Honors.
Thanks to her, I tried ayahuasca through phylogeography (stay tuned for this story!) My pleasure to mentor and hood a brilliant scientist.

Tonight’s #LagoLab tropical plant ID session featured an incredibly adorable and nerdy and ayahuasca-y photo shoot and informal hooding for @elanorfuller_, who is graduating with honors from @LSU_BioSci and @RELatLSU this week. Congrats Elanor 🍾🌿👩🎓🐅!!

We celebrated a very successful end of year and the imminent departures of #LagoLab mainstays @botAna_Bedoya, @olivgreenn and @elanorfuller_. Rocoto was pleased about the potluck spread bit put out he wasn’t allowed to each chocolate chip cookies.

I’m calling it- the 2023-24 academic year has reached its end!!
As my lab reflected on the semester in our last lab meeting this morning, our strong sense of supportive community was a major theme. The #LagoLab has accomplished a lot and celebrated a lot this semester!

(For those keeping score, in the last two weeks, there’s been an honors defense, 2 grad student entrance seminars, three @LSUDiscover talks by 2 undergrads and one postbacc, and these two grad presentations from #LagoLab members. I’m happy but tired, y’all 😴🥲)

To round out our 3-weeks of #LagoLab talks, @L_DBall rocked her @lsubiograds last week and @JanetMansaray gave an excellent presentation of her dissertation work at the @GradLSU conference today! They did so well 💕.
