Article content Every Friday, the Convolvulaceae Network gathers virtually to discuss all things related to the morning glory family. Taxonomist Ana Rita Simões of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in the U.K. and researcher Lauren Eserman of the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in the U.S. started the seminar series in September 2019 as a space for scientists to share their work. The group grew organically, from the fewer than 50 people who joined the first Skype call — during which Eserman presented her work on the evolution of storage roots in morning glories — to roughly 150 today. Now held via Zoom to handle the crowd, its fluid membership joins the discussions, seminars and collaborative meetings from nearly 20 countries, including Brazil, China and Mozambique.
