Mcnair Mason
Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Goals:
-Enable affordable scientific research for underfunded labs, citizen scientists, and underserved communities by creating simple, 3D printable designs
-Develop robust pipelines for plant taxonomic delimitation, minimizing impact on natural populations and maximizing data utility for conservation
-Use living collections (botanical gardens & arboreta), dried collections (herbaria), and breeding populations to provide answers for complex taxonomic questions
Plant Systems I work with:
-Cercis (Redbud)
-Sarracenia (Pitcher Plants)
-Allium (Onions)
-Oryza (Rice)
-Triticum aestivum (Winter Wheat)
-Zea mays (Corn/Maize)
