Awesome talk about Planting Science, so glad to hear about the impact of the program in the last 20 years. This was a great choice for substitute plenary address, it shows how important is teaching to the botanical community. #Botany2025

my title slide with the presentation title "Mining for the Renewable Energy Transition Threatens Plant Diversity" and a picture of Tiehm's buckwheat

I'm almost ready to upload my #Botany2025 talk. Mining for the Renewable Energy Transition Threatens Plant Diversity. Its a not so cheery topic, but an urgent one. How can scientists prevent extinction in the face of accelerated mining and does a just energy transition include biodiversity?

Field trip participants

Desert view

I am excited to welcome #Botany2025 to my big backyard in the California desert. I kicked off the conference with a field trip up the Palm Springs tramway to explore the beautiful flora of the San Jacinto Mountains. I hope everyone enjoys Palm Springs!
