Rebecca Beneroff

Thank you! I'll be presenting an updated version at Botany this year, which will include work from my upcoming field season in May. I've loved reading your Penstemon work! I've fallen so hard for this study system, and I've been excited to work on my little northeast penstemon group :)

It's sort of crazy to think that six years ago, almost on a whim and with lots of support from Zach, I decided to go back to school to study plants after being a pretty uninspired student through high school. Here's to continuing to great things!

I am so, so excited and honored to announce that my poster was selected as the winner of the Best Student Presentation for a Poster for the Division of Botany at the SICB 2026 conference this past January.

Ok bluesky, we're introducing students to data visualization this and next week. Can I see your best data viz comics? :)

When everything feels uncertain, I look to the rhythms of the land. They teach me to trust what I can’t yet see.

Pause for a moment today. Notice what’s quietly growing around you, and within you.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The susquehanna is gorgeous today. Look at those formations

Not sciencey or nature adjacent like I typically post here, but a piece I finished yesterday. Sometimes, I feel cold and invisible, and I just want to be warm

If you still have TikTok and haven't agreed to the new terms yet, they are now collecting data on immigration status, gender preference, orientation and such. That's what got me to uninstall it, although I should have done it much sooner!
Shout-out to @jessmaddox.bsky.social for breaking it down

Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

People are mad about the variability of the weather storm predictions as if the government didn't just absolutely gut the National Weather Service

... calliandra, and pitcher plants!

Its the first day of spring semester at Bucknell! What's blooming in the Museum collection greenhouse?!

We've got orchids(That Oncidium 👀), camellia, begonia,...

The world is big, frustrating, and angry right now. I've decided I'm fighting this year with creativity. I'm going to relish in my work and try to put some good things forward into the world while finding ways to protest and fight back. I got Poscas for the first time, though, so for now: memes

Rudbeckia sp. in Prismacolor pencils. Colored pencil hard haha. First fully colored traditional piece of the year, minus my fun conference doodles I did over the week at SICB in Portland. To many more!

Sitting here with friends, scheming to bring more beautiful things into the world.

I open bluesky, am met with more horror. Every day more horror.

On Sunday, I gave a talk to the scientists where I implored everyone to do *anything*.

It's easier to break than make things. Please make something.

Thank you!!! I wanted to experiment with visual design with a friend of mine and I'm very happy with this iteration :)

That is such a compliment, I love them haha

Today at @sicb.bsky.social, @wile-phylote.bsky.social told us bulbs were the worms from tremors so I had to do a quick lunch doodle (seriously neat talk thought)

Come stop by P40 and chat with me about an east coast Penstemon species - Penstemon canescens! I'll be presenting the early stages of my masters thesis and would love to bounce morphology research methods off people!

I'm stoked to talk about this (and some other cool things these plants do) Tuesday at 10:45 in the Sex Across Origins complementary session in B113 at #SICB2026.

The males in burned habitats exhibited higher levels of boldness and aggression! This was inspired by their next steps slide where they theorized if it could be due to factors such as resource limitations, spatial patchiness, or natal environment. Or maybe the aggressive birds prefer burned habitat

I'm actually a botany ms student who dabbles in art :) im so excited to see what the invited artists come up with!

Bluesky pls enable post editing so I can fix my phone typos 😭

Today at SICB I listened to a fabulous talk about how Juncos behavioral plasticity in post-wildfire coniferous forests by Yiran "Ryann" Su and I've had this image stuck I'm my head all day inspired by their finding that birds in burned habitats exhibited higher levels of aggression

Even if the legs made you cry? :3

@krebulator.bsky.social

Had so much fun making this with Ryan! Almost all of the species are Oregon natives! :)

Penstemon ovatus, Bombus huntii, Melanerpes formicivorus - Acorn woodpecker, Umeces skiltonianus - Western skink, and Megalodacne heros - native oregon

The rest are special to us :)
