I'm going to be busier this year than last year. In addition to Monday afternoon talks by my post-doc, Jane Carlson, and by one of my graduate students, Rachel Prunier, on work growing out of my NSF-funded work on Protea section Exsertae, there's a Tuesday morning talk, by Rachel again, on another Protea project. I've seen practice versions of those talks, and they're really good. So if you're in Snowbird for the meetings and want to see some really good talks on some really cool plants, be sure to stop by.
But that's not all.
LDS: Botany in 2009.
Snowbird
is in Utah, and if you mention the letters LDS to someone in Utah,
they'll immediately know what you mean. But that's not what I mean. If
you mentioned the letters LDS to a mycologist, they'd probably think
you were dyslexic and referring to a compound isolated from Claviceps.
I may be mildly dyslexic, but that's not what I mean either. A particle
physicist might also think you were dyslexic and meant to refer to a
detector used at the Stanford Linear Accelerator to study the polarized
Z particles produced in collisions between electrons and positrons.
That's not what I mean either.
If you want to find out what I mean by LDS and what it has to do with botany in 2009, you're just going to have to come to the banquet and suffer through my talk.
