I'm originally from the USA and am currently a PhD candidate in systematics and taxonomy at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Western Australia. I'm an inaugural recipient of a Forrest Research Foundation PhD Scholarship.
My research focuses on the diverse Australian arid-zone plant genus Ptilotus (mulla mulla) in the family Amaranthaceae. Using molecular phylogenetics and morphology, I am resolving the evolutionary relationships within Ptilotus and between Ptilotus and its close relatives. I hope to understand when and how it diversified in Australia, and how it became an important floristic component of the deserts and one of the most morphologically diverse genera in the family.
In addition to my PhD chapters, I've authored or co-authored nine papers describing new species and a key to the species of Ptilotus in Western Australia. I'm keen to pursue a career as a plant taxonomist and biosystematist. Follow me on Instagram @botanizer and Twitter @TaxonomyTim.
My blog posts:
Your explanation of Mixotricha paradoxa was fascinating such a unique organism! I also saw a science-focused post on https://mantecadentistry.com/ that made learning complex topics feel accessible.
This post clearly explained the nutritional benefits in a https://www.doublegpainters.com/ simple and engaging way. I appreciated the practical health focus. I came across a similar food-health discussion on a doublegpainters review blog (doublegpainters).
The way you presented Timothy Hammer’s work was very informative and easy to digest. I recently read a post on https://the915lawyer.com/ discussing approaches to research and classification, which offered an interesting perspective related to taxonomy. Your article really helps make complex topics accessible to readers.
This article did a great job of presenting the subject with clarity and depth, without feeling overly technical. The writing style made the information accessible and engaging. I recently read a similarly well-explained profile on a review blog related to https://grandoaksorthodontics.com/, and it offered an equally balanced perspective. Content like this is appreciated for its thoughtful presentation.
Really enjoyed reading this post — the way you described the work on taxonomy and plant evolution was very clear and helpful. I recently came across a similar discussion on a https://www.goprogaragedoorrepair.com/ review blog, and it offered an interesting perspective on detailed field‑work and documentation that reminded me of what you’ve shared here. Thanks for making such complex science feel accessible and engaging.
