In less than a fortnight, Joshua trees are coming to Alaska! Check out JTGP collaborators' talks at #Botany2022 in Anchorage: @kheyduk, 25 July, 9:30—botanyconference.org/engine/search/… @JBYoder, 27 July, 8:00—botanyconference.org/engine/search/… @BryTheBotanist, 27 July 1:30—botanyconference.org/engine/search/…
Joshua Tree Genome Project and friends featured in @ABC7 coverage of the challenges facing our favorite spiky desert plants
An estimated 1.3 million Joshua trees were killed when the 2020 Dome fire swept through a northern portion of the Mojave National Preserve near the California-Nevada border. Can the ecosystem be restored? knowmag.org/3pHMhkg
To procrastinate on the remaining emails I need to deal with, here's a thread of some photos from this past week @JTGenome What exactly were we doing? Replanting Joshua tree seedlings - we had such high mortality last year during record heat + drought.
This incredible crew drilled holes for and planted 600 seedlings today!! @JTGenome
Joshua Tree Genome Project PI @dr_moth awarded the prestigius Lynwood W. Swanson Scientific Research Award from the @MurdockTrust willamette.edu/news/library/2…
"... all those Joshua trees across the valley floor [are] thriving, surrounded by their young, with room still to move upward. The problem with up is there’s only so far to go before it’s just sky." grist.org/climate/can-we…

Hi everyone in an hour I will be presenting the initial assembly of the Joshua Tree Genome! Come and check it out during the functional genetics and genomics poster session today! #Botany2021
Field season 2021 is already testing our Joshua trees’ limits joshuatreegenome.org/archives/2021/…
I asked @dr_moth to send pics he took of me in the field the other week and it was literally 7 different pictures of me just staring at the LI-COR. 😂😂 @JTGenome #whatsshehiding #joshuabushes
