Hey, PS Academia! This talk is happening TODAY, and it's free! Please encourage your students to check it out! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Obviously, we agree! Sometimes it seems that academia disregards the impact simple interaction can have on students at the 6th-12th grade levels. However, these are the ages when we can really build the curiosity and interest that founds future adults' science and botanical literacy.

Know a Stranger Things fan who also loves plants? We got you! Check out the BSA's newest drop! Proceeds support the BSA (and, by extension, us!). Make sure you check out the back, too!

This #GivingTuesday, help us create more opportunities for student researchers in 2026! 🌱 Gifts to the GSRA Fund and donated/purchased gift memberships make a direct impact by supporting student research, professional growth, & access to the BSA community. Give today: crm.botany.org #BSAstudents

Don’t get a boring job. Get a fun job. Be a botanist. #botany #WakeBotany

But anyway, ha ha ha, support the scrappy little nonprofit I run that doesn't have enough money to have a fundraising staff member, and therefore annually lacks a good strategy on Giving Tuesday 🫠 givebutter.com/SupportSAS25

This #GivingTuesday, support the next generation of botanical scientists! 🌱 Gifts to the GSRA Fund help students pursue fieldwork and new research. You can also purchase or donate BSA gift memberships to support student opportunities. 🌿 crm.botany.org/makeadonation 🌿 crm.botany.org/giftmembersh...

With cuts to federal research, we need your support now more than ever to help us provide more research funding to our early career scientists through the Grad Student Research Awards. Make a donation today on #GivingTuesday! #iamabotanist #Botany crm.botany.org/makeadonation

Throwing some love to our friends at Skype-a-Scientist today! If you're looking for an opportunity to engage with the next generation of (possible) scientists but don't feel like you can commit to a PlantingScience student team, here's another option. (Note: you can easily do both, too!)

Fabulous #Botany2025 Plenary talk by Cat Adams @scienceismetal.bsky.social sharing insights from @plantingscience.bsky.social on how scientists can engage grade school students with plants. Most students only know fictional scientists so this programme is their first contact with real scientists.

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!

PlantingScience mentors! Did you know that this summer is our 20th birthday? You should definitely come to Botany2025 and celebrate with us! Abstracts are due TODAY! Don't wait!

Take action today! Write to your lawmakers regarding concerns about the impacts of recent policy directives on the U.S. scientific community. www.aibs.org/news/2025/25...

Deadline Extended! The BSA/ASPT Botanical Advocacy and Service Grant is now open until April 28, 2025—apply for $1,000 to support projects that shape botanical policy and strengthen connections between scientists and policymakers. Submit your proposal today! 🌿 www.botany.org/home/awards.html

🚨 Nominations are now being accepted for the 2025 ASPB Awards! It is important that ASPB honor the most notable achievements and contributions of plant scientists worldwide. The deadline is February 14, 2025!👉 https://awards.aspb.org/.

Get crucial funding to support #PlantPathology research, education, professional development/mentoring, and travel. The #APSFoundation offers many opportunities for members - apply by February 28, 2025. Learn more and apply today! bit.ly/3Q0bt1j

Your nominations needed! We seek nominations (incl. self-nominations) for positions on our Governing Board, Board of Professional Certification & various committees. Nomination is easy; service is great for you and ESA -- be part of our future!

We ran across this gem while screening videos for our soon-to-be-released revision of our Tree-focused Investigation Theme. What a great rundown of plant evolution! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONVp...

The PlantingScience team is excited to be preparing for the 2025 Botany conference in Palm Springs!

Middle and High School Life Science Teachers! We still have some openings for our Spring 2025 session. Connect your students with real plant scientists in the field. (There is no cost to participate!) Visit www.plantingscience.org for more information. #EduSci

Well, hey! We got some unexpected press today! Our updated platform features have definitely smoothed over a lot of bumps that our teachers and scientists used to encounter, so many thanks to HubZero for their hard work! t.co/TyMxCsPt4b

*Duke Shuts Down Huge Plant Collection, Causing Scientific Uproar* The many BSA members mentioned in this article & elsewhere have been working hard to maintain the herbarium. nytimes.com/2024/02/21/s...

We're recruiting for the 2024 round of our Digging Deeper [F2] research! We are seeking early career scientists to work with high school teachers to teach photosynthesis more effectively in the classroom. Learn more about the opportunity and apply at: plantingscience.org/index.php?op...

High school science Ts are invited to take part in a 2nd cohort of a research study to investigate how professional learning in combo w/ a high-quality curriculum module & online mentoring by plant scientists can improve Ss’ understanding of photosynthesis & cellular respiration. bscs.org/f2

Please join us as we congratulate the 41 teachers, 1000+ students, and nearly 200 scientists who came together to make our Fall 2023 session a success! If you can, please take a moment to check out the Star Project winners for this session! They did some amazing work!

Our Fall 2023 session has ended! The end of a session is always a bit of a letdown, but it does mean we now get to score projects nominated for 'Star Project' status, which may be our favorite part of the whole thing.

Shout out to Mrs. Boyle, one of our Middle School teachers this session. She had students make slideshows about their projects and had students include a slide where they talked about 'their scientist'. That's so validating for our scientist mentors! Definitely going in the Best Practices list.

Plant Scientists! Can you spare an hour per week to mentor high school students learning about plants in the classroom? It's a fun, flexible opportunity to inspire the next generation of citizens to appreciate how important plants are. Visit plantingscience.org to sign up! 🌾🌿

Sharing a link to the Botanical Society of America's Youtube channel. You can catch Botany 360 webinars you missed and the president's presentation from the 2023 Botany Conference. 🌿🌾

@jmheberling.bsky.social saw herbarium specimens on a cover and figured it was probably you. Looks like a great read! 📜🌱
