The gravestone of the Carl Linnaeus in the Uppsala Cathedral. It is made of Ordovician limestone. Here I've found several cephalopods. According to Alexander Pohl these are: i) a lituitid Ancistroceras; ii) endoceratid; and iii) orthoceratid.

The term "parataxonomist" is full of love, recognition, and respect for one the purest forms of connection between humans and nature. 🥹

#ICYMI 👏👏👏 Our Herbarium recently accessioned their 300,000th vascular plant specimen into the collection! Founded in 1891, the University of Florida Herbarium (FLAS) here at the Florida Museum houses over 530,000 preserved plant specimens. More: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/museum-blog/ba…

Can herbarium specimens reliably estimate plant phenology under climate change in montane (alpine) regions? See our preprint here. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Dear Colleagues, in case it is useful, a bookmarkable list of various paleobotany🌿 resources I’ve been involved with that are freely available online but may be hard to find. [cont.]

Scientist Spotted 🗺️ Kathy Deagan, @UF distinguished professor emeritus of archaeology, spoke to @FloridaTrend about her life, career and dedication to excavating Florida's history, from Ice Age hunters to Florida cowboys: floridatrend.com/florida-icon/2…

Jane Addams was a social work pioneer, feminist and peace maker. She dedicated her life to peace work and helping the poor. After being nominated on 91 occasions, she finally received the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize - the second woman to be awarded it after Bertha von Suttner.

An ecologist, a volcanologist, and a chemist walk into a forest… It sounds like a joke, but it’s a real collaboration between @NASA and @UniversidadCR to learn about volcanic emissions to better understand how increased CO2 levels impact plants.

Hudson Williams, star de la série « Heated Rivalry », continue son incroyable ascension vers la gloire. Mais à son succès s’ajoute une haine de plus en plus difficile à ignorer. parismatch.com/culture/medias…

A new exhibition at Sterling Memorial Library traces six centuries of “herbals” — guides to the medicinal properties of plants — highlighting the enduring intersection of art, science, and the humanities in the pursuit of better medicine.

Organisms are not machines. This should be mainstream thought in ecology, Evolution, genetics, physiology, and so on. Sadly it seems like we are not there yet.

There are estimated to be between one and six million species of fungi. Take a moment to appreciate a few. 🍄 #HostilePlanet is now streaming on @DisneyPlus.
