Ignore these accounts. Engagement will just give them power. It's like the rule about not feeding the gremlins after midnight. Just don't do it.

I hate listening to people eat, but listening to beavers eat? Yes please.

This is important.

Always so lovely to see Hoya flowers 🤍

We are looking for a highly motivated and creative scientist with a strong background in mycology and/or the biology of fungi and fungal-like organisms that interact with plants. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a world-class, externally funded research program that integrates both fundamental and applied aspects of fungal biology within the context of plant pathology. We welcome applicants pursuing a wide range of research topics related to plant-associated fungi, including but not limited to mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis or symbiosis with plants, population genomics and evolution of fungal plant pathogens, plant-associated fungal microbiomes and plant-microbe interactions, and/or one health approaches to fungal diseases and antifungal resistance. Applicants working in other relevant research areas involving pathogenic, symbiotic, or mycotoxigenic fungi or fungal-like organisms that affect plant health are also encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will have significant opportunities for collaboration with faculty in plant pathology, microbiology, genomics, and agricultural sciences, and to contribute to addressing issues of importance to California’s agricultural and natural ecosystems.

Very happy to share that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the department of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina in January! My group will be working on environmental phage ecology and evolution, and I am recruiting for the upcoming year (more info below).

One week to apply before reviews start for the postdoc I am offering investigating the tempo and pattern of river connections with the closure of the isthmus of Panama and its impact on river plant (Podostemaceae) migration. Genomic+fossil+geological data + fieldwork 👇

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

The Harvest or Hunter Supermoon. Currently just 362k miles from Earth. It is properly called a Perigee Moon.

Moon rising over the east of south London

The Moon rose about 18.00 BST today.

The full Moon rising through the Belt of Venus which is an atmospheric phenomenon that appears as a pinkish or brownish glow in the sky right after sunset or just before sunrise. The glow is visible above the dark blue band of Earth's shadow, which rises on the horizon opposite the sun. The phenomenon is also known as the anti-twilight arch.

'Supermoon' - the first of 3 this year. This evening's fantastic rising full Harvest Moon! Actually 100% about 04.45 tomorrow morning. Also rising into the 'Belt of Venus' #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

Hi #PlantPeeps! I'm doing some re-organizing in our small herbarium - mostly trying to organize our teaching specimens! Does anyone have a lead on where to buy plastic sleeves (clear, and sealed on 3 sides so you can slide in your specimen, but still access the label on the bottom)? #iamabotanist

And look at this graphic abstract….. 😱🤯

Magic flora Philip Garnock-Jones has spent more than a decade photographing our native flowers as they’ve never been shown before: in luscious, three-dimensional detail.

Remember the Magic Eye books of the 90s?? Now, you can have a crack at viewing New Zealand’s native flowers in 3D. Clematis, orchid, ngutukākā, korukoru, oioi… this is a luscious, spectacular feature by @rebekahwhite.bsky.social, based on the new book He Puāwai by @theobrominated.bsky.social

Super excited about this review/new data preprint on aquatic plant photosynthetic methods - turns out its *hard* to measure stuff underwater! Led by awesome grad in the lab @ellliieee.bsky.social with postdoc @wickellomics.bsky.social and some brilliant people at LiCor! 💧🌿

No need to be scared of him. The trend is clear - everyone outside of his hard base is abandoning him.

Get symposium and colloquium proposals together for Botany 2026, the joint meeting of @amsocplanttaxon.bsky.social @botsocamerica.bsky.social @herbariumcurators.bsky.social @iaptglobal.bsky.social + Am Bryological Society and Am Fern Society... best meeting of the year!
