My name is Shelly and I just finished my Ph.D. in the Soltis Lab at the University of Florida. In the fall, I'll be starting an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology with the University of Kentucky (Rosana Zenil-Ferguson) and the University of Michigan (Stephen A. Smith). I study whole-genome duplication in angiosperms. See my research site for more about me.
I am a current iDigBio Research Assistant. You can find a round-up of my biodiversity informatics work here.
