The need for manual curation of the cotton proteome leads to a solution primed for undergraduate involvement

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cotton is a global crop cultivated worldwide, yet a significant portion of the cotton genome remains functionally unannotated. Attempts have been made to automate this annotation but have been unable to completely bridge the gap. Human curation is still needed for accurate interpretations and predictions to be made.

Hybridization patterns and research effort in Asteraceae, a megadiverse and economically important plant family

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important evolutionary process, and a deeper understanding of hybridization is necessary for its application to agriculture, conservation, and ecological solutions. Here, we assess correlates of hybridization in the megadiverse and societally important family Asteraceae and how and where hybrids have

An urban evolved invasive plant tolerates experimental climate change

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urbanization may drive invasive species evolution, resulting in greater invasion risks as global conditions change. We compared urban populations of the invasive Erigeron annuus in Zagreb, Croatia, to surrounding rural populations and found that urban‐evolved populations were more tolerant of experimental warming and drought than rural populations ...

What If Cooking Isn't Chemistry? Examining the Good and the Harm in Metaphorical Connections Between Science and Everyday Activities

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This theoretical paper examines why we make claims like “cooking is chemistry,” what these claims mean, and what good or harm they accomplish. We make three interrelated arguments: First, the relationship between scientific and everyday practices is more complicated and less obvious than is often claimed; second, educators and scientists link ...

Who Can Afford to Fail? Investigating Science Students' Perceptions of Failure Through the Lens of Their Identities

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scientists agree that learning to cope with failures is an important skill for science students to develop, and students who participate in science research often have positive outcomes after coping with science failures. However, the experience of failure in undergraduate science education more broadly seems to have an overall negative impact
