Still coming off an alpine high from our trip last week in the Wheeler Peak Wilderness documenting alpine flora apart of Western N. America Alpine Plant Surveys. Highlights included this alpine poppy not documented in New Mexico for over a century! 🌱 @jkleinkopf.bsky.social @hannahmarx.bsky.social

Got to host an amazing seminar by Ben Legler, a forever mentor to me, on moonworts which was everything and more!

This #InternationalWomensDay, watch our fascinating talk from Gem Toes-Crichton on her visual research exploring pioneering women in botany. She features Elizabeth Blackwell, Anna Atkins, and the 1994 winner of our Jill Smythies prize, Rosemary Wise. Watch: www.youtube.com/watc...#InternationalWomensDay, #IWD2025

Hello botany enthusiasts! With March Madness right around the corner that means it's time for… Herb-Madness! 32 plant genera are set to compete in the 2025 Herb Madness Championship. We have an exciting lineup for this year’s Herb Madness, but we can’t do it without YOUR HELP. #herbmadness2025

🚨Urgent: Help Save Decades of Work by Navajo Botanists🚨 For decades, Arnold Clifford has built up the Carrizo Mountain Herbarium. Now, this collection is at risk—snowstorms are causing the roof to cave in, putting >30,000 specimens in danger. #IndigenousScience #Conservation #MutualAid #botany

Urgent support needed for a leaking roof of the Carrizo Mountain Herbarium! Digital Donations can be made through Venmo to @ShawnaB3- with the note "Carrizo Mountain Herbarium Urgent Support"

The plant, formally known as Ovicula biradiata, is especially notable for being the simultaneous discovery of a new species and genus. It was found with help from the community science app iNaturalist. By @jamesdoubek.bsky.social

For the first time in nearly 50 years, a new plant genus and species has been discovered in a U.S. national park. 🔗 @pensoft.net blog post: blog.pensoft.net/2025/02/19/t... 🔗 Research paper: doi.org/10.3897/phyt... @calacademy.bsky.social @ca-naturalist.bsky.social

🌿 new plant species found in national park. We can’t sell off our natural parks if for no other reason than that they hold undiscovered species like this new one. Plus all the other reasons we can’t sell our shared natural heritage.

"To plan for the future, it’s sometimes necessary to look to the past." Nice highlight of our work synthesizing temporal, taxonomic, and spatial trends in botanical collections to facilitate new research avenues @emlombardi.bsky.social @softcorebotany.bsky.social

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

A bright spot in a dark week. The International Compositae Alliance (TICA) has just put out the newest volume of the bi-annual publication Capitulum 3(2) and this issue has STYLE. 😎🌼 OA, here: www.compositae.org/capitulum_03... #botany #plantscience #ecology #biodiversity #evolution #asteraceae

Awesome work by my favorites! @emlombardi.bsky.social @hannahmarx.bsky.social Check it out!

UMass has a new webpage to track federal actions as a community resource www.umass.edu/news/federal...

Found a larvae on my Selaginella specimen, was collected in the Sandias last year. Not finding much on larvae on Selaginella in North America- currently talking any thoughts and input.

Very proud of this paper led by @lsu.bsky.social students where we examine what ‘Unexplored’ means in a natural history context - we recommend ‘biodiversity blindspots’ instead for places that lack digitized public data Paper here peerj.com/articles/185... Video abstract youtu.be/QZ8wUrgJEao

Our records of the world’s biodiversity are patchy—but that's not because lots of places are "unexplored." That story and more of the best in @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

🚨New Paper Alert🚨 @emlombardi.bsky.social @hannahmarx.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I have a @hannahmarx.bsky.social sized hole in my herbarium heart! The UNM Herbarium is losing a great one. Cheers to one of the greatest curators I've ever had the privilege of working with, to all of the great work you will continue to do at Cornell & all the new ways we get to collaborate!
