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
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.

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."
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.

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.
