@ElanAlford 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 when we vote we win!

Yay for the democratic process. Today is the first weekend of early voting in Delaware. There was a long line in Claymont DE just 15 minutes after polls opened. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@mohammad_jorid The conference is in person only, but there are travel grants available, so I encourage you apply once those are accepting applications! botany.org/home/awards/tr…

@seedystudies As an international student, how could I join, I hope there will be a virtual session too.

@Botany_Bob @TeriMandakova Has viability been assessed? Could just be low/no viability, not a dormancy issue.

@TeriMandakova @seedystudies any thoughts?

Does anyone know a trick to encourage older seeds to germinate? Our usual gibberellic acid treatment isn’t working for #Boechera seeds. Any tips? 🙏🏻

@anaifrs Both great options

@SRosbakh I think you have identified a need!

Is there THE standardized protocol for making smoke water to study fire effects on seed germination? It seems like every study uses a different recipe, scattered across various journals.

@SarraceniaMason @Positron3d Boo! I’m sorry Mason. Doesn’t seem to make much sense 🤔

Flying home from Madrid with my @Positron3d and security confiscated almost all my tools for printer repair out of the Pelican case... apparently Allen keys, a tiny flathead screwdriver and a pair of 2" needlenose pliers aren't allowed even tho they were in there on the way there

@InfoInsr @thesmalloak My office this week is #IBC2024! I co-organized a symposium on seed conservation with the amazing seed bankers @AlexSeglias and @DustinWolkis. Thanks to all of the fantastic researchers who presented on their seed work! 🌰💚

@seedystudies @thesmalloak anything to share? 🌱

This is my office! 🌱 What does your seed-based restoration 'office' look like these days? Share a picture of your workspace—indoors or outdoors—in this post! #SeedBasedRestoration #EcologicalRestoration

@DustinWolkis @ibc2024 @AlexSeglias 🌰 🌰 🌰 #IBC2024 about to get seedy

Joining @ibc2024 #ibc2024 and interested in #biodiversity conservation of seeds? We welcome you to attend our double symposium, "Advances in Seed Conservation of Wild Species" this Monday! Session I ibcmadrid2024.com/index.php?secc… Session II ibcmadrid2024.com/index.php?secc…

@SarraceniaMason @ibc2024 @OficialSebot @RJBOTANICO Wish I got in early enough! Flight booking regrets

@ibc2024 @OficialSebot @RJBOTANICO It's not too late to sign up for my workshop! Someone is going home with a #3Dprinter and the knowledge of how to use it for their research!

📢Reminder: On Sunday, July 21st, don't miss the Registration, Workshops and Satellite Meetings, Opening Ceremony, Opening lecture by Sandra Knapp, and the Welcome Cocktail Reception ❗️ 👁‍🗨 ibcmadrid2024.com/index.php?secc… #ibc2024 @OficialSebot @RJBOTANICO

@DevaniJolman @Botanical_ Congratulations, Devani! 🫐

Extremely grateful to @Botanical_ for selecting my Botany 2024 presentation for the Ecology Section Best Graduate Student Paper! I’m always excited and thankful to share my work on the ecological consequences of natural hybrid blueberries in Virginia 🫐🌿

@imenarv Girl, you know I’m here for it 🤣

@Glossopetalon Congratulations Maya and family! Omari is beautiful.

@RileyPizza So pumped for this, Riley! Could this be described as a ‘shake and bake’ design? 🤣

@BenRLeaf We apply annual for rare plant monitoring through irma.nps.gov/RPRS/

@IJPSJournal @JournalWrangler Wow- so excited! Thank you!

Purpose: To gather information from restoration practitioners on their organization’s seed sourcing and procurement practices and identify factors that constrain their seed sourcing options. A better understanding of current seed sourcing choices and limitations (2/6)

@dieworkwear 🔥 🔥 🔥

that's right. i believe in - fair wages so you can afford cool clothes - right to housing, so you can store those clothes - universal healthcare so you can be healthy and go outside - dense, mixed-use development so you can wear your nice little outfits while walking outside

@aliciaandrz Both these classes sound fantastic!

in a week, I start back teaching courses at William & Mary after a semester-long research leave. I am nervous but excited to meet & go on to learn from my students. I'm teaching two courses: "Bad Mothers in Literature, Then and Now" & "Race, Science, & Reproduction":

@PlantTeaching @facette_lab @RootandShootRCN pbcinternships.org

Do you know of a plant science REU or summer undergraduate reseearch program? Send me a link and I'll curate on the @RootandShootRCN website! Let's make it easy for students to get a summer research experience in plant science! Thanks!

@SiobhanLeachman @wikidata @BioDivLibrary Woot! Much anticipated.

@seedystudies @wikidata @BioDivLibrary Hope you enjoy it! We're now working on a paper analysing the data.

So proud to announce a research paper I've co-authored has just been published! My fabulous coauthors & I been researching flowering #plant genera named after women. Our research process involved @wikidata #IPNI #Tropicos & @BioDivLibrary #BHL #Wikidata bdj.pensoft.net/article/114408/
