The co-author of this study, Lena Struwe, is an expert on plants in the strychnine family, Loganaceae, and is a plant biologist at Rutgers University.

I would be worried about dating an expert on plants in the strychnine family. Extremely worried, especially when offered a cup of tea. Just don't upset such an expert.
