Professor Joyce Onyenedum

Welcome! This channel is dedicated to sharing my love of plants with anyone who will listen. My name is Dr. Joyce G. Onyenedum, and I am a Botany Professor at New York University in New York City.  

Here, you will learn about topics in plant biology, evolution, and development. My goal is to excite the general public, students, and fellow colleagues about the beauty and wonder of the natural world. Here you will find my video series–– Build A Plant–– which focuses on basic concepts in plant anatomy, funded through NSF Award 2401675.

I received my BS in Plant Sciences from Cornell University, PhD in Integrative Biology from University of California, Berkeley, and completed postdoctoral studies at The Pennsylvania State University. I have served as a research botanist and professor at Cornell University and NYU. My research focuses on the evolution of development of climbing plants.
