Is there a #Botany2026 conference app or way to save/plan your iterinary? Struggling a bit, may have missed instructions...
Someone mentioned off hand they saw my picture in the AHS magazine. Wow, what a honor to be listed among such good company on this who’s who watch list.

HIGHLY recommend working with Ben and his lab! Great opportunity.
Ben R Lee, PhD@benrlee.com · 2w agoMy team is recruiting a MSc student for a new grant investigating forested wetland responses to Hurricane Helene. The student will lead a GIS project mapping disturbance type and severity in the ETSU Geosciences dept. The catch: they would need to start this fall semester (about a month from now).
Thanks for the book recommendation @flannerm.bsky.social! Reading now. It is almost too convenient that my office is steps away from the Carnegie Library. herbariumworld.wordpress.com/2026/07/06/b...
More to come. Pymatuning Lab of Ecology herbarium (PLE) going online soon! midatlanticherbaria.org/portal/colle...
So happy to join @ijpsjournal.bsky.social editorial board! I’ve definitely made the right choice. And to have this surprise in my mailbox to start my week… 😊

Why?? Why do some morrow’s honeysuckle Lonicera morrowii have red fruits and others have orange? Curious 🧐 . (I asked the twitter verse years ago and don’t think I got an answer.)
@plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social & @newphyt.bsky.social Joint Special Collection 'Harnessing the benefits of specimen digitisation' is out today. Excited to see landing page image features Carnegie Museum herbarium specimens from Greely Expedition! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/harnessi...

I will give Ohio this — their state flag has a great shape.
I just got Simberloff’s new book on history of invasion biology. I didn’t realize it was so long 😭 Looking forward to reading certain chapters.
Got a nice demo last week on newly designed probe to measure leaf spectral reflectance on herbarium specimens. Should I get in on the hottest new thing in herbaria???!! (Just need to find the $$$)
City Nature Challenge. As if our field isn’t competitive enough! (I do actually like it though.)
I’m not even sure I knew the nfl draft was an event you could go to until this year.
That feeling of walking into a meeting and seeing post it notes and chart paper at every seat 😬 .
Humanities folks love using the term “interlocutors.” I hope to one day use it too.
Herbarium Sheets Are Holding Secrets Their Makers Never Intended www.botany.one/herbarium-sh... When you mount a plant on a sheet, you capture more than botany. A new paper reveals the unexpected historical treasures hiding in herbaria, and why closing them is a mistake. #Botany #PlantScience

Strongly recommend! Study plants and have a topic you love? An opportunity to dig and think deeply on a topic, with no restraints on length, and provide your perspective on its past, present, and future. And get paid! Writing this review on traits & herbaria in 2022 was super rewarding.
International Journal of Plant Sciences@ijpsjournal.bsky.social · 4mo agoA reminder thar @ijpsjournal.bsky.social is soliciting proposals to write a Coulter Review: www.journals.uchicago.edu/journals/ijp... Curious about this opportunity? Want more details? Well we have a thread for you:
