plant evolution

about me

Patrick McKenzie

I’m a postdoctoral research in Robin Hopkins’s plant evolution lab at Harvard University.

I study flowering plant genomics, with a focus on systematics, speciation, hybridization, and computational methods.

Outside of research I enjoy birding and botanizing, taking pictures, dreaming up side projects, and playing banjo.
