Hi my name is Aviwe Matiwane, I am a palaeobotanist and ecologist. Growing up I've always been fascinated by nature, particularly plants and where they come from. I love the mystery behind fossil plants..In short I'm a plant detective #BlackInNature #blackinstem #stem #scicomm

@PalyJen Thank you

@UdeMischa Welcome back! Looking forward to seeing beautiful fossil plants again!!

😁😊

@Ichnologist Thank you. I took a break for some time, it became too overwhelming. But I’m back. I will be sharing some of lovely fossil plants and outreach activities soon. 😃

@MarinaLostetter Listen …👌

@DustinGrowick I see what you did there. Anyway, dinosaurs 👎🏾 plants 👍🏾 I’ll fight you 🤺

@MzukuluKaDombo I dream mostly of dogs, lions, and bees. Does that mean they are all my spirit animals?

🛖Emakhosini Ngiyakhuleka🙏🏾👴🏾🧓🏾 WHAT’S YOUR SPIRIT ANIMAL? Spirit animals are an embodied form of a spiritual guide. Spiritual guides can present themselves to us whatever way we are willing to see them, and it is natural for people...thread

News: African SuperScientists Are Being Profiled In A New Exhibition Featuring Art By Clyde Beech brainwavez.org/news/2023/2023… #sacomics @SciSuperheroes @Clydebeech @Totem_Media_SA @CanHCZA @GenusPalaeo @MaropengSA

Ha, stage 6 with a possibility of stage 8? South African politicians do not care about us. How could they when they don’t experience blackouts because their homes have back up power systems. They don’t know the pain of throwing away food and then have no means to buy more. Tsek

I love you my friend ❤️

@dayyaantheking @TrollFootball 😂😂😂how many salah's are out there

Who is going to replace all the spoiled food in our fridges?

Thank you @the_wee_podcast for the opportunity to discuss research and other issues with @mauritiantales. Great to revisit how we all (@emmadnn, @UdeMischa, @alinemghilardi, @palaeolina, @Ming_tfk27) came together (virtually) for this work during the pandemic! @IISERPune

This thread is about helping new grad students, but this tweet in particular is important for your new undergrad assistants as well!

@mauritiantales 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Getting the proofs for three papers in a week. WELL 🤩🤩🤩🤩
