Re: [aroid-l] Introduction

From: "Tropicals" <Tropicals at SolutionsAnalysis.net> on 2004.04.19 at 19:30:23(11418) Welcome to the group Emily. We, too, look forward to the wealth of information and education you will be sharing with us. Your credentials certainly make you an asset to the Missouri Botanical Garden as well as to the Aroid-l membership.

I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a relatively new subscriber to Aroid-L, and a new face beginning in aroid research. My name is Emily Yates and my interest in plant taxonomy, ecology and biogeography in general, and Araceae, in particular, stems from my new position as Tom Croat's research assistant at Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis, MO. I am originally from southern Illinois, and received my B.S. in biology from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and my M.S. in geography from SIU Carbondale, IL, where I studied recruitment of non-native invasive plants into fragmented forests in southern Illinois. I continue to be very interested in invasive plants, especially invasive aroids, as well as biogeography, fieldwork, travel, and plant collecting, all of which I hope to submerse myself in here at Missouri Botanical Garden. I enjoy being given the chance to be part of such a community of people interested this fascinating group of plants, to work with Tom to bring to completion many aroid research projects, and to initiate others on my own. I am looking forward to interacting with all of you at some point and hope to contribute to the discussion of Araceae on Aroid-L and to provide assistance to you from our wealth of resources here at the Missouri Botanical Garden.
