RoleScientist Mentor: I will mentor teams of students online

Research Interests (300 words)I'm a botanist that loves ferns, and I work on determining how ferns are related to one another using DNA and plant structure, a field called phylogenetics. If you've ever seen a genealogical tree of your relatives, that's essentially what I do, except, instead of using individuals, I use species.

Hey guys! Sorry for the long delay. It sounds like you're plants are doing great! I think you're right that some of the variation you're seeing in the color of your plants is due to genetics. Have you learned about Mendel and his work on…

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. You guys did a great job, and your microscope images were stunning! And don't worry about the plants. Scientists accidentally kill plants all the time, and you learned what temperature the ferns can't…

Hey everyone! It's nice to meet you. Have you guys progressed at all with your project? You have a really cool question, one that a lot of researchers are interested in at the moment.
A little about me: I'm a PhD student at the…
