Research talk to introduce my 5-year post-doc research to students, and researchers at Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Should we build our own phylogenetic trees based on gene sequence data, or can we simply use available synthesis phylogenies? This is a …

5-min lightning talk to introduce my research to researchers at Florida Museum of Natural History

Those outreach activities always make me wondering how could I deliver the knowledge I learned to the public and also make me realized that how important my work is! Tree of life is beautiful metaphor! It perfectly explains how everything in this enormous tree connected and related. If we can educate the public about the biodiversity and conservation, and how our future depends on it! Then so, ultimately more and more people realize it and will initiatively promote saving the Tree of Life! It’s never too big to do something about it! We all play a part for the greater good!

Our world’s heartbeat is its biodiversity. This complex network of all life is responsible for the food we eat, the water we drink …
