Haley A Branch

Remember at #Botany2025 there's an active code of conduct, with actionable reporting: www.xcdsystem.com/botany/progr...

[I haven't heard of any issues, just always a good thing to remember]

A white person with dark hair pulled back and round glasses stands at a podium in front of a conclusion slide of a presentation. The main points highlight “directional selection favored novel negative plasticity, canalization may be disadvantageous, and experimental approach reveals hidden adaptive potential”

@jillmlove.bsky.social gave an awesome talk about plasticity in leaf lobing in #Mimulus

A slide for Where do we go from here? Including talk about axiological assumptions, provide context for who the founders were, increase field site transparency, and advocate for inclusion. Haley is presenting sitting to the side.

Haley Branch @stressedbranch.bsky.social gave a foundational historic overview of how disability affects our science today and her work on @uslter.bsky.social facility accessibility.

A white woman with red hair tied half up, half down stands at a podium. The slides heading slide to the side reads “what processes affect creation and maintenance of species diversity in these complicated groups?”

Last is Caroline Brose sharing research on willow and experiences as a disabled field researcher

A white person with short dark blond hair and a hat is in a wheelchair at a podium. A presentation titled slide is titled “defying expectations: resolving the forest fragmentation paradox… while navigating physical disabilities”

@botanic-ash.bsky.social up next telling us about oak trees and their experiences as a disabled person conducting fieldwork!

A person with long wavy dark brown hair and tanned skin stands at a podium in front of a presentation titled “Locke’s demonstration garden as vehicle for cultural connection in transnational communities on the Sacramento Delta”

Mayra Concepcion shares their story with us

A white person in a wheelchair is speaking at a podium in front of slides. The slides heading states “Fatigue and burnout with disability in academia & life in general”

@plantpollinator.bsky.social sheds light on many of the issues related to having disabilities in academia, but in navigating social settings in general

Dark short haired person stands at the front of a presentation. A slide showcases the four main questions of their talk (which I actually can’t read clearly)

Up first is @brythebotanist.bsky.social

Flyer for the “BIPOC Mixer 2025” with a headline that reads: “Calling all Botanists of Color to join the: BIPOC MIXER 2025.” Below is a group photo of smiling attendees from the BIPOC Mixer 2024, standing together in a conference hallway. Above the photo, the text reads: “Open to all BIPOC-identifying conference attendees. Meet and mingle with other plant scientists!” At the bottom, the meeting time and location are highlighted: “Meeting Time & Location: Monday from 9–10 AM, Chino AB.” Decorative green leaves and brown branches frame the flyer.
