Christina Richards, Ph.D. (she/her) I’m an Ally, are you?
@drclrichards.bsky.social
I study ecological genomics of native and invasive plants at a large public university in Florida. Science is done in the context of social construct. We must all engage in and contribute to civil discourse.
What if Old McDonald had a farm… on the Moon? 🚜 🌕 In a recent activity supported by @esa.int, a Norwegian research team looked into how we could create fertiliser using nutrients from lunar soil to grow plants on the Moon 👉 www.esa.int/Enabling_Sup...
I know it has been a while, but it's Gardeners of the Galaxy's sixth birthday, so I thought I would celebrate with a new episode. It looks into the history… and future… of wine in space. #SpacePlants #astrobotany spacebotany.uk/blog/gotg69-...
GotG69: Wine in Space - Space Botany
To celebrate six years of Gardeners of the Galaxy, Emma the Space Gardener is raising a glass and looking into the history… and future… of wine in space.

My favorite moment at #NoKingsDay #NoKings #NoKingsTampa #Tampa yesterday. My awesome kids as we’re driving through the demonstration down Kennedy Blvd! 🥰🥰🥰
So proud of my Tampa protesters! #NoKings 🎉 The mood on this sunny afternoon remained upbeat, with homemade signs, music, & even a drum circle. Families with children in strollers & older adults were among the crowds. It was great! 🎉💙 #StrongerTogether www.tampabay.com/news/florida...
Tampa Bay residents gather in 1,000s at ‘No Kings’ protests across region
Protesters in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties chant and stand in solidarity for the rally tied to hundreds more happening in cities across the nation.
