I am once again asking for a thumbs down reaction in Outlook

"This image shows the logo for ""A Day for BSA"" and around it a gauge that shows about 60% of goal made. Text: Help us reach today’s Endowment Giving Goal of $15,000! www.day-for-bsa.botany.org/2025. Current Total $8915. The image also shows a group photo of BSA members."

We’re nearly 60% of the way to our $15,000 Endowment goal!

Every gift powers science, lifts up students, and drives BSA forward. Join the movement—make your impact today and help us reach the finish line!

In a weird turn of events, I'm procrastinating cleaning the lab by working on a manuscript (it's usually the opposite)

Very mild covid symptoms plus working outside without people = watering our plants!

You too! Officially positive, but so far no fever

Same, yikes!

Summer course grades entered from the airport en route home from #Botany2025, started importing and editing my four Canvas courses for Fall 2025 🤣

(So far safe, but not smooth!)

Hope everyone has smooth & safe travels home from #Botany2025 (we are not)

Terrible photos, but THAT'S MY SISTER!

So proud of these students - UWEC Biology let's go!

Lab sisters!

A few moments from the poster session at #Botany2025!

I'll be presenting my talk "Get Low: Evolutionary Transitions to Non-flying Mammal Pollination in Protea) at 4pm today Tuesday in Mesquite B at #Botany2025!

Come learn about Protea in South Africa and what else changes when they species have different primary pollinators!

My one true passion is obsessively checking the weather forecast for frisbee

Thanks Colin! What does increment mean in this case?

The weather was good for all of the North Central college series, believe it or not!

New science building, less teaching space, lfg

You could be the first!

I hate it when people starr emails to the whole department with "Hi Guys". Really grinds my gears.
