Duration in the Bohs lab: 2014 to present.
Projects: General Solanaceae lab research, including Cyphomandra and its related clades, which includes the recently described Solanum zumbense [pictured below], and now broadening work on the Lycianthes and Capsicum projects.
Favorite solanaceae taxon: Datura inoxia Mill. is my favorite because it has a rich history with the Aztecs (as being highly toxic but also medicinal) and it has a beautiful inflorescence that blooms at night and smells beyond divine.
Least favorite solanaceae taxon: I don't have a least favorite. Yet...
