<p>We are very pleased to announce our fourth annual Advanced Field Botany course at the University of Idaho McCall Field Campus, scheduled for July 3 - July 16, 2016!</p>
<p>This 3-credit course is aimed at upper level undergraduate, early career graduate students, and professionals with a strong interest in enhancing their botanical knowledge. Located in beautiful central Idaho, the course will combine field excursions throughout the Payette National Forest with classroom lectures, discussions, and hand-on activities. Students will learn field collection skills, including how to conduct floristic surveys, keying, and standard curatorial practices. Priority will be given to students who <a href="http://webpages.uidaho.edu/dtank/afb/How_to_Enroll.html"><strong>apply before March 28, 2016</strong></a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://webpages.uidaho.edu/dtank/AFB/">Visit the course webpage</a> to learn more, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UIAdvancedFieldBotany/">follow us on Facebook</a>.</p>
<p>Please pass this announcement on to potentially interested students, and/or colleagues that you think may be interested in sharing this with students!</p>

<p>A new paper from my lab detailing a high-throughput approach for phylogenetic dataset collection using targeted, microfluidic PCR and Illumina sequencing came out this week in PLoS ONE. This was a collaboration between Simon Uribe-Convers and Matt Settles (former Director of the UI IBEST Genomics Core, now at UC Davis). We think that this approach has a lot of advantages over other genomic approaches for obtaining large, multigene datasets for phylogenetic analyses, especially at lower taxonomic scales. All of the code for analyzing the resulting data can be found on <a href="https://github.com/msettles/dbcAmplicons">Matt’s GitHub site</a>.</p>
