Botany lover, especially ethnobotany. Natural science nerd, Master Gardener, and book lover ( nonfiction and mystery). I have an endless curiosity about the world and the more I learn the more I realize there is so much more to learn!
Looks interesting.

ProPublica’s analysis of CDC data found that the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies has nearly doubled. The spike alarmed many experts. One said it should “be a never event.”
Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans.
With prompt and appropriate medical care, experts say, people shouldn’t die from an ectopic pregnancy. Women in Texas and Oklahoma have sued over delays in care, which, coupled with our new analysis, ...

🌱🧬 P-starved Arabidopsis roots release malate to recruit Acinetobacter bacteria. On the rhizoplane, these microbes help unlock inaccessible phosphorus. This partnership boosts plant P nutrition—showing mutualism beyond mycorrhizae. #plantscience @cp-cell.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Mutually beneficial interactions between bacteria and Arabidopsis promote phosphorus nutrition and growth
Over 20% of root-associated bacteria promote Arabidopsis seedling growth under phosphorus (P) deficiency in a host-dependent manner. Further analyses showed that P-deficient plants secrete malate to a...
