This past week I attended the AETFAT 2025 Congress, where I had the privilege of meeting many skilled and inspiring scientists from around the world.

I also presented my research on East African Ipomoea (Convolvulaceae). A rewarding experience to share my work for which I’m incredibly grateful. 🍠🌱
