You know what all teams in the men's Final Four (and both women's teams in so far) have in common?
HERBARIA.
UConn is threatening to cut the staff of our nat history collections (plus many other awful budget cuts). If only we cared as much about biodiversity as we do about buzzer beaters!
Happy Monday! Remember the deadline for #botany2026 abstracts is coming up.
#bsaecophys is also hosting a colloquium on non-foliar gas exchange and a workshop on measuring gas exchange on unusual materials. See the links below!

Hi All!
I'm back from sabbatical and teaching Plant Ecophys again - a class near and dear to my heart! In the past, I've welcomed grad students and post-docs to share their research with students and their stories about how they got into the field.....
"it’s going to be fine … so don’t worry" has never made me feel less fine or worry more.
Provides some insights into what is happening (or rather what is not happening) with regard to federal science grant making.
