The picture on the right shows one of these beautiful species (courtesy of <a href="https://twitter.com/the_kunsze/" rel="nofollow">her twitter feed</a>). In carrying out her postdoctoral&nbsp;project,&nbsp;she is splitting her time between the US (where she will work with Stacey and with <a href="http://www.lauralago.net/" rel="nofollow">Laura Lagomarsino</a>), the UK (where she will work with <a href="http://www.plant-evolution.org/wp/" rel="nofollow">Mario&nbsp;Vallejo-Marín</a>), and Vienna (where she will work with <a href="https://ufind.univie.ac.at/en/person.html?id=20350" rel="nofollow">Stefan Dullinger</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://sfb.univie.ac.at/en/about-us/staff/schoenenberger-juerg/" rel="nofollow">Jürg Schönenberger</a>).
