Spring is kicking in, and the botanic gardens of @UGent are looking gorgeous under a blue sky. Inside the greenhouse there is a lot to be entertained by too, though. What about these stunning Araceae, Amorphophallus ferruginosus and Arisaema candidissimus?

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off.
That's what blackmail looks like.
That's what the world is up against.
No PhD students or severely reduced # of admits -> *undergraduates* looking now to start the next phase of their career in support of research & discovery will be stuck without an option.
This is far from the only place in a similar situation, whether announced publicly yet or not.
