Long before flowers dazzled pollinators with brilliant colors and sweet scents, ancient plants used another feature to signal insects: heat. The findings in Science offer insights into what shaped the earliest eras of plant-animal coevolution. Read more in this week's issue: https://scim.ag/4rVtArQ

I'm very sad to say William Bond, of the University of Cape Town & Fellow of the Royal Society (@royalsociety.org ), has passed away. It is a great loss. He was an enthusiastic ecologist and a critical thinker. I learned a lot, and I still had a lot to learn from him. RIP. 😢 🧪🌎🔥🌿🌳🪴🌐 #PlantScience

Let's tell the truth about bear encounters and coexistence. If you've had a bear encounter this year, it was amazing and nothing happened, tell me about it. Email your story (3 sentences or less) and 1 photo to [email protected]. post it on your socials too and tag me and the Minister.

A pretty bleak thing that GenAI is revealing is that a significant percentage of the population seems to have no interest in actually learning or doing anything. They want to ChatGPT their way out of hobbies, art making, everything... www.thecut.com/article/woul...

I have an old edition of Darwin's Origin of Species that I bought as a PhD student. It sat in my office at @utoronto.ca at 25 Willcocks St. Today I looked up the original owner from the bookplate - Ronald R. Hart. I discovered that he was born in 1888 living at, you guessed it, 25 Willcocks St!

I am happy to share my first publication is out in the scientific world. Based on my undergraduate honours biology thesis research at Queen’s University (2024), we explore how urbanization and host-plant gardens impact the occupation of its specialist herbivores. You can check it out here! 🌿🐛

New paper by PhD student Aly Van Natto! 🌾🧪 Ever wondered if a plant's early start (seed vs. clonal fragment) affects the rest of their life's trajectory? We did! So we tested it over 3 yrs. Seedlings grow & flower fast but die young, while clones play the long game #PlantScience #ecology #evolution

Wow! In the ~1.5 years since we launched the EEB section of microPublication Biology, we have published 69 articles with another 10 in review or revision. 🎉 🧪 Thanks to authors and reviewers for supporting the effort! 🙏🏼

New @genomejournal.bsky.social special collection “Early Leads: Plant Biology Side Projects with Big Potential”. We’re looking for short, self-contained studies with big impact. Deadline July 31st, 2026. OA, no pub. fees, ECRs! Questions? Reach out to us (Olivia and @zoejolylopez.bsky.social)

Apparently I made the mistake of using my SNSF grant money to pay for publications from my Ambizione grant in 2023 and 2024. Does anyone know of possible solutions for retrospective funding to save me from paying 6800 CHF out of my pocket to the SNSF to cover fees paid to journals in 2023 and 2024?

Nice to see this great write-up about our recent paper in Molecular Ecology. "Chromosomal Rearrangements Might Play a Central Role in Adaptation" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper by former MSc student @christeinecke.bsky.social! ⭐ A behemoth effort to apply artificial selection on clonal reproduction in #Mimulus guttatus. We show that clonality evolves quickly, but not symmetrically in both directions, and multivariate life history traits are altered too! 🧪🌾

Excited to share our new paper in @GeneticsGSA ! We developed "Retriever," a novel method that enables high-quality genotype imputation in non-model organisms. 🧬 Congratulations to Charles on his first PhD paper! Paper: doi.org/10.1093/gene... A thread 🧵👇

This is true, and funny because it's true, and also an argument for "early writing" - you can write much of your paper, even most of it, well before the work is complete and thus before you're too late for "should have done".
