Her research focused on the evolution of Andean aquatic plants in northern South America, with most of her research being conducted in her home country of Colombia. In her own words, she was practicing \u201cextreme botany\u201d which involved rafting and collecting plants in white water rapids (including some impressive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XmDkzHX8eng&amp;t=1s&amp;ab_channel=AnaMBedoyaOvalle\">footage<\/a>). In particular, she was interested in using genomic data to determine the role the uplift of the Andes played in the evolutionary history of two plant genera (<em>Marathrum <\/em>and <em>Ludwigia<\/em>). Ultimately, she showed that not all aquatic plants responded the same to the topographic changes associated with the Andean uplift, but the impact has been profound. If you want to read more about her impressive work, you\u2019re in luck because nearly all of it has already been published (<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fpls.2019.01035\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fpls.2019.01035<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/nph.17649\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/nph.17649<\/a>).
