First year graduate student Rebekah Mohn received the ASPT award for her t-shirt design using the Minnesota native plant Linnaea borealis. She also received the TRIARCH Botanical Image travel grant to Botany 2018 for her photo, Dewy Tentacles. Thanks Alex Eilts from the CBS Conservatory for letting Rebekah sample and photograph his plants!

This summer Rebekah took the six-week long Tropical Plant Systematics Course offered by Organization of Tropical Studies in Costa Rica. With the course she visited four different research stations and enjoyed everything from high altitude paramo and cloud forest to lowland tropical dry forest and rain forest. While there, she found and studied blue-green fluorescence under UV light of spike mosses (Selaginella) and club mosses in response to desiccation stress.
In addition, Rebekah has been utilizing her Zoological Soceity Fund Natural History Award from the Bell and her J.S. Karling Graduate Student Research Award from the Botanical Society of America to collect sundews (Drosera) from New Jersey, Virginia, Idaho, Montana, and soon northern Minnesota.
Way to go, Rebekah!
