If you are planning for #Botany2027 and did or did not attend #Botany2026, fill out this form if you need childcare!! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... please!! This year there was no childcare and the nursing room is more a custodian closet without a lock, AC, water/sink+light goes off very 5 mins
Major #Botany2026 FOMO, but the drive MA->OR starts this week. So, sharing from afar: I’m recruiting grad students for my new lab at OSU! Info: www.mckenzie-lab.org . We're going to have FUN with systematics, speciation genomics, methods, natural history, and more in North Am angiosperms. Reach out!
Wanna hear about introgression and pollination syndromes? Boy, do I have a talk for you! I'll be presenting my last dissertation chapter in the Cooley Award session on Monday, 8:45am in room Tucson C-D! #botany2026
Congratulations Fanya!!!

Emily Humphreys@astragaler.bsky.social · 6mo agoI'm excited to share that our article is now officially published! I hope this accessible review can be especially useful for professors introducing undergrads to plant systematics and all the monocot nerds out there 🧅🌷! @wile-phylote.bsky.social @tribblelab.bsky.social
Congratulations @astragaler.bsky.social, with @wile-phylote.bsky.social and I, on putting together a great history of plant systematics, using Liliales and Asparagales as an example of how changes in evolutionary theory and data has shaped modern day understandings of the plant tree of life.

The court got it wrong. Denying transgender youth the health care they need solely because they’re trans is discriminatory, and we will keep fighting.
ACLU@aclu.org · last yr.BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth can remain in effect. This is devastating for trans people and our families but doesn’t end our work against President Trump’s attacks on trans people and our health care.
In case you couldn't bear to read all the way to the end (understandable), here is the proposed picture for the BIO Directorate.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last yr.The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday.
If this spending bill passes the Senate and is signed into law in its current form, all but the most financially fortunate transgender people will be forcibly detransitioned regardless of their ability - or inability - to produce their own sex hormones. This is a ten thousand-alarm fire.

Our NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnership for the Northwest region was terminated this week. I'm so proud of the work we did to support the climate resilience efforts of frontline communities and Tribal Nations. And I'm deeply concerned for what the loss of this support means for NW communities.
Climate Impacts Group@cig-uw.bsky.social · last yr.We are deeply saddened to report that the funding for the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative has been terminated effective immediately. This is a devastating setback for climate resilience in rural and Tribal communities in the PNW. Read more>> cig.uw.edu/2025/05/cig-... @nwcasc.bsky.social

Science funding is not government waste - see my opinion piece in the Lansing State Journal about why cuts to science funding are bad for Michigan. @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/opinio...
Viewpoint: Scientific research is not waste. Funding cuts will harm Michiganders, economy
In 2024, over $1 billion in NIH funding went to Michigan, supporting $2.57 billion in economic activity, according to United for Medical Research.
