Very happy to host almost 40 folks in the Manning Herbarium today through the Bucknell Institute for Lifelong Learning. So many excellent questions and lots of genuine interest in why collections matter. #iamabotanist

Sad to read of the death of Steve Long who contributed a huge amount to #plantscience

RIP NSF PRFB

Two photos are centered: on the left, Benjamin Ajayi in a light blue patterned shirt; on the right, Sara Pedraza standing outdoors by a lake in a black jacket. Their names appear beneath their photos. Text reads “A Discussion Session led by BSA Student Representatives.” Event details at the bottom say “Wednesday, 2–3 PM EST, 1.28.26,” with a QR code and “Register Here!” and the URL “www.botany.org/calendar.”

We've got ISSUES. Literally.

We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

As I browse around, I keep an eye out for (what I think) are surprising facts.

This 2021 paper estimated that the USA, China and the UK spend USD 2.5 billion on peer review, based on the contribution made by researchers.

P Nobel - Physiochemical and Envionmental Plant Physiology

A Toni Morrison quote embedded in a yellow, black, and white graphic design reads: "I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.’”

As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

Over a month ago, Ecological Indicators returned us either the wrong editorial decision, or the wrong reviews. In a month of emails with Elsevier, we have been unable to get any help.

The last time I published there, they also returned the wrong review to us. What is going on there?

📣 We're hiring! Great opportunity for someone to join us in the School of Agriculture, Policy and Development at the University of Reading working on #crop #protection #agronomy. See jobs.reading.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai... for all the details.

Don’t get a boring job.
Get a fun job.
Be a botanist.
