I love my PBS Passport app! It's great to watch and to listen to shows like a podcast. Ken Burns' The Roosevelts series is helping me focus on the bigger picture of our country, who we were, are, and can be. @pbs.org

STEM professor colleagues, give this a read. We need to raise our own awareness to threats across all facets of higher Ed and support our colleagues and the core educational and scholarly mission of academia.

IT’S HERE!!!!!! My new book, *Sweet Taste of Empire* spotted in the wild!

Confederate statues are “history” but a rainbow crosswalk dedicated to victims of a mass shooting is “political.”

Big news! We are recruiting a postdoc to work on tomatillo evolution: jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta.... The clade containing tomatillos and its allies (ca 300 spp) has evolved lantern fruits at least 25 times - we want to know why! Join us @rociodeanna.bsky.social & @caschenck-bio.bsky.social

Holy fricking A. 1. Sciences aren't remotely apolitical, from who gets to do research to which research projects are funded to how findings are interpreted. 2. Who is going to write the reports/papers without humanities? 3. Science is also a target!! Ask the CDC researchers who were shot at!

Hey! New faculty! Your annual reminder to keep track of *everything* you do in some way or another. I just dump stuff into a Google doc, nothing fancy, but saves a ton of time when working on promotion & tenure docs. (Ask me what I'm working on right now...!) 🧪

Sometimes I think of how only two generations of us were even allowed to attend these settler colonial ass universities in tiny, awkward handfuls, and how even that was too much

Even though #Botany2025 is over, the botany hasn’t stopped for the #LagoLab! Aislinn and I are spending a few days working at @mobotgarden.bsky.social with Charlotte Taylor and our beloved rubes. #Rubiaceae #Taxonomy #Classification #Phylogeny #WomenInSTEM

What’s the first thing I did after I got back home from #Botany2025? Showed off that sweet bulbous @ijpsjournal.bsky.social journal cover to my mom, which prompted her to then read the article! The bulbous propaganda spreads!! ✌️😎🧅 #PlantPeopleFTW

Happy mammal reunion day to all botanists returning from #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.

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

Sometimes (especially late in the conference) 5 minute talks just hit the spot! Thorough enjoying Germinating Ideas/Lightening Talks at #Botany2025 Got to see my senior undergrad Magdalyn Rowley-Lange crush her CAM talk ...and we got to see dogs hunting invasive plants!

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

What a night for #Rubiaceae! I’m so proud of my student @laymonstera.bsky.social for taking home the American Society of Plant Taxonomist’s Cooley Award for best talk, and my colleague and dear friend Charlotte Taylor for receiving the lifetime achievement Asa Gray Award. #Botany2025 #LagoLab

Shout out to @brythebotanist.bsky.social, @stressedbranch.bsky.social, and Caroline for facilitating discussions about disability at #Botany2025. I thought this was an obscure access need that I dealt with alone so it was amazing hearing so many other people with different disabilities chime in.

My heart is full, my cup overflowing. Wonderful dinner out with my @coloradocollege.bsky.social Jabailylab alumni, from the classes of '19, '20, '22, '25, '26. Our currently ill '28 was greatly missed. I am so proud of these people (a second family!) and grateful to be together at #Botany2025

The BSA awarded more than $140,000 in awards (research, travel, hardship) to its membership this year!! @botsocamerica.bsky.social 💚💚

Good morning #botany2025! Go ahead and put the Belonging in Botany panel on your schedules and come hear from immigrant scientists in our community about their experiences and challenges. 11-12, Ventura.

Caroline Brose wrapped up the fantastic #Botany2025 Disabled in Botany symposium with research on shrubby #Salix and the importance of disability visibility in science.

Thanks all that came through the BIPOC mixer this morning at #botany2025 !! Just a sliver of the diversity here at the conference #biodiversity

Come friends! Let’s have the biggest turn out yet!! #Botany2025 #PlantPeeps #DisabledInBotany

Disabled In Botany Symposium happening all afternoon! Come check it out! Learn from your disabled colleagues and increase your understanding of how to make science more accessible! #Botany2025

Excited to showcase my new Open Educational Resource for intro college level Botany. It's a hybrid textbook, lab manual, and workbook. Published and ready for anyone to implement! I'll be showcasing it in the Educational section of #Botany2025 today and handing out copies & stickers!

Awesome talk about Planting Science, so glad to hear about the impact of the program in the last 20 years. This was a great choice for substitute plenary address, it shows how important is teaching to the botanical community. #Botany2025

Dr. Catrina Adams, Botanical Society of America Director of Education, steps up last minute to give our plenary address. YOU are a role model and absolute icon! Thanks for this, and for all you've done to get PlantingScience K-12 outreach to 20 years! Here's to the next 20! #Botany2025
