Just finished this episode and I must request - can we get a tshirt stating "what's more goth?" With a porcupine gnawing on some bones in its den? @ologies.bsky.social @alieward.bsky.social

I'm thrilled to share I've been accepted for a PhD in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Edinburgh! I'll be exploring ferns and disturbance ecology with Dr. Michael Sundue! Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Can't want to keep making fronds in the field. 🌿

Polypodium appalachianum (Appalachian Rockcap Fern) in Eastern KY last weekend. Check put the sori in the first picture. #fern #nativeplants #plants #nature #botany #plantsky #nature #kentucky #appalachia

When people start talking about your public land like it’s just a commodity on a balance sheet remember this…once places like this are gone there’s no going back.

can't think of a better way to start my bluesky account than a shout-out to the 2025 Tropical Ferns and Lycophytes cohort. So honored to have been part of this enthusiastic community of fern lovers. Thanks to all teachers, classmates, and OTS, and to the ferns and streams of Costa Rica #buenhelechos
