In this episode, Stacy Krueger-Hadfield, R Shawn Abrahams, and Jeremy Yoder chat about their experiences managing research, teaching, and scientific conferences in the year of COVID-19.

(This episode was recorded back in October, but production’s been delayed because of, well, everything. It’s still a pretty good retrospective on a  strange and challenging year!)

Links to things we discuss:

• The Research Coordinated Network for Evolution in Changing Seas
• One of the most widely-tweeted talks from the online Botany 2020 meeting is this presentation on the evolutionary genetics of flower development by Min Ya — there doesn’t seem to be a central list, but lots of talks from the conference turn up in a YouTube search.
