Green AoB PLANTS “Meet the Editor” flyer featuring Associate Editor Juliana Medeiros (Holden Arboretum, USA). The graphic highlights her research focus on plant anatomical and physiological acclimation to abiotic environments, her commitment to rigorous and inclusive science, advice for publishing (“build your paper around a strong central finding”), her favorite plants (rhododendrons and coffee), and her interests outside science, including assemblage art and caring for houseplants and aquariums. A circular photo shows her working in a lab under red light.

🌿Great journals are shaped by thoughtful editors.

Juliana Medeiros @heyrhododendron.bsky.social brings a passion for rigorous science, inclusive editing, and strong scientific storytelling to AoB PLANTS.

Get to know her in our latest #MeetTheEditor feature 👇

Storms are going away and we start evaluating the aftermath of this hydrological nonsense.

I’ve been conducting experiments in the area since 2007 and for the first time everything will be lost. My problems are nothing though in comparison with the destruction of properties and infrastructures.

We submitted a manuscript ,dealing with impacts of war and colonialism on geodiversity of #Ukraine. I am not at liberty to discuss unpublished research - but I want to highlight some published sources and amplify Ukrainian voices, and impact of war on #fossils in UA @nataliajagielska.bsky.social

Why is research led by women retracted less frequently? - Impact of Social Sciences A recent study found research by women had fewer retractions. Are women betters researchers, or does the finding reflect wider structural issues?

“Who ends up retracted depends not only on who makes mistakes, but on who occupies positions where mistakes are most likely to occur and most likely to be discovered”

‘I rarely get outside’: scientists ditch fieldwork in the age of AI In the race to embrace new technologies, some ecologists fear their field is losing touch with nature.

This article strikes a chord with me. With mobile laser scanners and GNSS receivers I can now collect as much data in a few days as used to take weeks. Great! Except that's less time spent in the forest really looking at the trees. 🧪🌏🌲🌳 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
