The pinyon pine syngameon has a unique evolutionary history full of copious admixture, adaptive introgression, and the creation of not one, but two hybrid lineages with potential drought tolerance traits. However, with human-induced climate change, the future of the pinyon pine syngameon may be at risk, highlighting the importance of incorporating hybridization and recognizing syngameons in conservation practices.</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"> </span></p><h3 align="center" style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="font-size:18.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">Join us this Thursday!</span></strong><span style="font-size:18.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black"><br><strong><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">March 10th, 2022</span></strong></span><br><strong><span style="font-size:18.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">7-8 pm PT</span></strong></h3></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background:#344d32;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td style="padding:13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt;border-radius:8px"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif"><a href="https://calbotsoc.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e&id=35221b961b&e=b69ac08598" target="_blank" title="Zoom link"><b><span style="color:white;letter-spacing:-.4pt;text-decoration:none">Zoom link</span></b></a> </span></p></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6.75pt 6.75pt 6.75pt 6.75pt"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 6.75pt 0in 6.75pt;min-width:100%"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><a href="https://calbotsoc.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e&id=259230ff27&e=b69ac08598" target="_blank" title=""><span style="text-decoration:none"><img border="0" width="178" id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://mcusercontent.com/c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e/images/0f7cc6ae-3bdf-5f41-aadf-0e8f5d9eb81e.jpg"></span></a></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6.75pt 0in 0in 0in"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td width="600" valign="top" style="width:6.25in;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;max-width:100%;min-width:100%"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;word-break:break-word"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt"><h3 align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="color:black">Bio</span></h3><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">I am a PhD candidate of Evolutionary Biology at SDSU in the Joint Doctoral Program with UCR. Prior to graduate school, I earned my BS in Biology from UC Irvine, where I studied hybridization and reproductive barriers in rare and endangered Hawaiian flowers (with Ann Sakai and Steve Weller). My current research in the Flores-Renteria lab consists of greenhouse, field, and molecular work, focusing on hybrid systems, drought tolerance, and ectomycorrhizae. In the little free time I have, I like to watch movies, visit the dog beach, and play volleyball.</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"
