I’m writing to connect you all with Dr. Dawson White, who just joined the Texas A&M University faculty and who is assuming the role of curator at the S.M. Tracy Herbarium. Dawson is going to be a tremendous asset to TAMU and the TORCH Community. He is a champion of/for collections and is leading several efforts to integrate new cutting-edge technologies (e.g., hyper spectral scanning) to improve the depth and breadth of collections-based research. He is also an expert in the systematics and biogeography of Erythroxylaceae.
Good luck in your new job and your life in the Midwest! We will miss you in the land of bullets and barbecue!
