I finally get to share our new review paper! Kirsten Fisher and I were honored to write the @IJPSJournal 2024 Coulter Review on all that’s unique and interesting about reproduction in gametophyte-dominant plants. (1/5) journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…

This viral tweet and accompanying video is a textbook example of how racists distort and manipulate media to incite pile-ons. Their target seems to be a lovely young woman but she isn't white and that's all the excuse these racists need. Here's the truth behind the video: /1

We are so excited to present the "Handbook of Lichenology", an illustrated guide designed to aid in the identification of lichen traits, with user-friendly descriptions, labelled illustrations, and high-resolution photographs. ial-lichenology.org/handbook-of-li… #training #onlineResources

I think we need a moss life cycle cartoon! @mossMatters @mossman2000 @MossinAnnie @mossworld @AmeliaMerced @bryomedina @Bryophyter

Also! I drew this life cycle, inspired by @Jin_cyliao ‘s adorable Araby character and life cycle diagram. Introducing: Physcy! (5/5)

We hope this will serve as both an overview of bryo repro and as a springboard for research. If you teach bio, consider boosting your bryo content where applicable. If you are interested in any of these topics, consider that bryos might be good models for your questions. (4/5)

A new @EOS_Center grant is supporting marine scientists interested in art. Check out one of the students’ work! news.sfsu.edu/news/sf-state-… 👏 💜 💛

✨✨ New Package ✨✨ Happy to announce that I am soft launching another R color palette package, {MoMAColors} today! Currently has 35 palettes based around artwork at @MuseumModernArt. Download Instruction and Palettes here: github.com/BlakeRMills/Mo… #r4ds #dataviz #rstats

Come be my colleague! 😊

If you think that #bryology and #mycology are niche (they shouldn't be), imagine people work of #fungi that live on/in bryophytes. I remember a talk by Peter Doebbeler in Munich about the astonishing #diversity of microfungi in byrophytes.

@MollyCWomack @CornellEEB @CUMV @Mal_Ballinger Big congrats to you both!! 🥳

It's so fun to see UGA alum @gabbrosandstone present on her PhD work! Very interesting work on seed viability and parental gene expression. We miss Gabbie but are excited to see her upcoming work from her postdoc with @Dr_Crushworth and @emjosephs @SweigartAndrea #Botany2023

I wasn’t able to make it to #Botany2023 in person but thankful @Bryophyter will deliver our talk, “Let the records show: attribution of scientific credit in natural history collections” in the #SIRIS session today at 10:30am. 🌻 Paper here: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72… @IJPSJournal

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow! Wednesday 8 AM symposium on polyploid phylogenetics at #Botany2023. Check out our amazing lineup of speakers & presentations:

We are excited that our new paper, Let the Records Show: Attribution of Scientific Credit in Natural History Collections, is now online journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…. This work is in a special issue of @IJPSJournal dedicated to Vicki Funk.
