Had such a great time at #botany2025! Hearing about everyone's research was very inspiring and generated some new ideas for my own work. See you all in Tucson next year!

Talk 1 ✅️ Talk 2: I will be talking about my research with milkweeds, their environment and traits, and diversification tomorrow at 2:00 pm in Macroevolution I in Mesquite B. #Botany2025

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.

Come check out my talk discussing the community roadmap for the BIOFAIR Data Network on Monday at 2:15 pm in Mesquite C! #Botany2025

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years. NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

The PLANTS program (funded by NSF) at @botsocamerica.bsky.social was a cornerstone of the conference each year, bringing together new-to-science scholars with more experienced mentors. It helped provide community, support, and connection to new scientists. The grant was terminated last week.

Letter from the SSE/SSB/ASN councils on the scientific understanding of sex and gender, pls RT

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

If you see this quote with flowers from your gallery.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Happy New Year! 🎊🥂
