Thanks, @klodonnell!
Last night's Torrey Lecture went really well! Well-received, and I think everyone learned something they didn't know before. EVen my co-presenter and I learned form each other putting it all together! It was recorded and will be uploaded to Torrey's YouTube channel when ready.
The Torrey Virtutal (Plant) ID Party will be Thursday, May 5th, at 6pm. It's on our Upcoming Lectures page:

Hello @klodonnell, these are great! If participants can not attend the sessions is a zoom link recording available? Thank you!
