Dear Colleagues, I'm asking for help: do you have contacts at #OUPAcademic ? We asked for a change of corr. author over 40 days ago, received no answer or support, & upcoming deadlines means publication will not proceed - so we're pretty worried >>> @oxfordacademic.bsky.social

A botanical mystery moved from herbarium cabinet to scientific breakthrough. One botanist's careful examination revealed Amaranthus pakai—a native Hawaiian plant hidden among introduced species since 1819. wp.me/pdRZhH-m1L

To say I'm upset is an understatement. I've mentored in the program for something like 8 years, and the dedication of BSA's staff to continuing this program is incredible. Now, it's gone.

I know this is such a long shot rn, but if any botanical friends are looking for a super talented postbac (tech, etc) please let me know! I have an excellent candidate who is skilled in informatics, plant phys, general lab skills etc. 🌾🧪
