#Botany2026 abstracts submitted! 😱😱🎉🎉 So excited to talk more about milkweed diversification!

It is now February 27th in Japan

On this day, 30 years ago, Pokémon Red & Green were released in Japan and the franchise began.

Happy Birthday Pokémon!

A flower of Asclepias eriocarpa that is cream colored with many yellow-orange aphids around it.

Had such a great time at #botany2025! Hearing about everyone's research was very inspiring and generated some new ideas for my own work.

See you all in Tucson next year!

Title slide that says Linking Functional Trais and Niches to Lineage Diversification in Asclepias.

Talk 1 ✅️
Talk 2: I will be talking about my research with milkweeds, their environment and traits, and diversification tomorrow at 2:00 pm in Macroevolution I in Mesquite B. #Botany2025

I am now hoping that I have the correct time 😅

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.

A title slide that reads Building an Integrated, Open, Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable Data Network. There is a logo at the top that says BIOFAKR Data Network.

Come check out my talk discussing the community roadmap for the BIOFAIR Data Network on Monday at 2:15 pm in Mesquite C! #Botany2025

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.

NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

🎉🎉🎉

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

The PLANTS program (funded by NSF) at @botsocamerica.bsky.social was a cornerstone of the conference each year, bringing together new-to-science scholars with more experienced mentors. It helped provide community, support, and connection to new scientists.

The grant was terminated last week.

Amy Angert & I are recruiting 2 field technicians for demographic surveys of scarlet monkeyflower in late summer-fall. Please spread word to any potentially interested candidates! jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/217...

Trump funding cuts threaten the lives of plant libraries Plant libraries hold essential clues about climate change -- but with funding cuts aimed at research and education, their future is at stake.

I will be there!

Letter from the SSE/SSB/ASN councils on the scientific understanding of sex and gender, pls RT

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

If I remember correctly, I believe it is Funastrum cynanchoides. Photo was taken at Big Bend National Park.

Yes!

If you see this quote with flowers from your gallery.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Happy New Year! 🎊🥂
