Hi Everyone,

I hope your CLM internships are going well and you are enjoying your time! I got to take time to away and go the the Botany conference in Boise, Idaho and it was a great experience. I got to present my MS thesis (which is finally done!) and have some time exploring the city. Please enjoy some pictures below form the Idaho Botanical Gardens and the Boise

 River.

Hi Everyone!

I’ve been working here at the Chicago Botanic Garden working with an REU student and volunteers and it’s been very action packed! We’re working on a project that looks at local adaptation in Sporobolus airoides and how that may play out in root traits.  It’s definitely been a learning experience in mentoring and I’ve really enjoyed it. It’s also been a good lesson in time management as I’ve just submitted my MS thesis this morning! I’m putting some pictures below of the gardens here, it’s been really nice to have such a beautiful backyard to go to for a break (which I’m sure you all know to be true!).

It was really foggy for a while:

I hope you all are enjoying your time!
