I'm so thrilled that this paper is now out in American Journal of Botany! This paper marks a couple of exciting firsts for me - it is the first chapter of my dissertation and my first first-author publication 🎉. I hope folks enjoy reading it and become fans of personate flowers in Penstemon!

Thanks #AJB for the challenge to put down on paper the latest on #Mosses #Cyanobacteria and their interactions!

Appreciating this intersection between botany and pride in Palm Springs--pride for prickly plant people, perhaps? That would fit me. #Botany2025 #PrideInSTEM

What an honor! When the scheduled plenary speaker for #Botany2025 fell ill, our own Dr. Catrina Adams was asked to step up and open the conference with a talk about our amazing program and its history! What a great way to kick off our 20th year!

Some members of the Nigerian plant community at #Botany2025 in Palm Springs, California! Always fun to meet new friends and listen to all the brilliant ideas and research work from everyone. Always sticking together!!! @ajayibenmi.bsky.social @petfemspeaks.bsky.social @preshonnature.bsky.social

Thank you ben ❤️ it has been a blast working with you during my tenure as student rep! #botany2025

Leaving Palm Springs and #Botany2025 feeling inspired, as always, but perhaps more importantly, feeling incredibly grateful for the wonderfully supportive botanical community. Botanists really are the best folks around.

This story is not new but a presentation at #Botany2025 raised awareness on the impact of avocado production on biodiversity. U.S. demand is driving deforestation in rich Mexican cloud forests which also support monarch butterflies. www.nytimes.com/2023/11/28/u...
