As I’m writing, blogging, and more, there’s a guy who patiently stands by me through everything. He doesn’t mind listening as I endlessly discuss the trials and tribulations of a postdoc<\/a> while he tirelessly works to prepare for his. It doesn’t upset him that my perspective occasionally ruffles the feathers of others in his field–including those friendly with his awesome<\/em> advisor John Willis<\/a>. He doesn’t even complain about how late he needs to come collect me from the airport constantly. Instead, he helps me get the details right whenever I have a question, brings me along on cross country road trips<\/a> to the field, and has a kind word no matter what the DNA sequence looks like on any given day. And he always supports my crazy ideas<\/a> with boundless encouragement and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

\"18057_675935392949_5819276_38490511_5222890_n\"<\/a>So today I want to congratulate my wonderful, brilliant fianc\u00e9 David Lowry<\/a>, who just received his Ph.D. in evolutionary genetics and genomics at Duke. (Photo left was taken just before his final seminar talk<\/em>). David’s a damn good field and lab biologist who’s taught me everything I know about speciation, adaptation, Mimulus<\/em><\/a>–and so much more. His research on understanding ecotype formation amazes me and I’m so excited to see where it goes next!<\/p>\n

And directly to David: You continue to inspire me every day and I love you.<\/p>\n
