Mark “Skip” Beilstein
|
| Did a molecular phylogeny of the Brassicaceae and has been a postdoc at Harvard for some time now.
|
|
Kuo-fang Chung

| Worked on a group of ericads in Madagascar for her MS. She needed a lot of fieldwork and component analysis to try and work out what were the actual species in the genus Agarista. Heidi is now working for Flora North America.
|
|
Ben Torke
|
| Is the world expert on Swartzia, a papilionoid legume. Lots of fieldwork, herbarium time and molecular work is beginning to give him a handle on this large genus. Ben is now a postdoc at the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences.

|
“Beto” Vicentini
|
| Came to us from INPA in Manaus, in Amazonas state in Brazil to work on Pagamea in the Rubiaceae. Again, with a lot of field, herbarium, and lab work, Beto came up with novel ideas of studying speciation. He is now back at INPA in Manaus.
