#IPAD2026

Hey hey, scientist mentors! Don't forget to submit your abstracts for #Botany2026! We would love to see you there!

Aww, we appreciate you, too! Thank you for the shout-out on #IPAD2026!

We love what we do. When students get into a good conversation with a botanist, the results are magical to watch! We are proud to be 'growing the field'. 🌾🌱🌿 🔬

Hey, PS Academia! This talk is happening TODAY, and it's free! Please encourage your students to check it out! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Obviously, we agree! Sometimes it seems that academia disregards the impact simple interaction can have on students at the 6th-12th grade levels. However, these are the ages when we can really build the curiosity and interest that founds future adults' science and botanical literacy.

Know a Stranger Things fan who also loves plants? We got you! Check out the BSA's newest drop! Proceeds support the BSA (and, by extension, us!). Make sure you check out the back, too!

But anyway, ha ha ha, support the scrappy little nonprofit I run that doesn't have enough money to have a fundraising staff member, and therefore annually lacks a good strategy on Giving Tuesday 🫠

Cat speaks on a stage with a slide in the background.

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.

What an honor! When the scheduled plenary speaker for #Botany2025 fell ill, our own Dr. Catrina Adams was asked to step up and open the conference with a talk about our amazing program and its history! What a great way to kick off our 20th year!
