SSE, SSB, and ASN logos. Text: Tri-societies Week of Action for NSF. Science under siege: Over 1000 NSF grants have been terminated by political appointees- threatening the foundation of American innovation and education, and more cuts loom; entire research programs are being erased without explanation. What’s at stake? STEM education for K-12 students, jobs and infrastructure in rural communities, support for veterans in research and education, cybersecurity and national defense innovation, global leadership in science and technology. Join the week of action: Contact Congress: Switchboard: (202) 224-3121, tell them to protect NSF. Share your story: Post on social media #WithoutNSF #SupportNSF #SaveNSF, engage local media; use our media tool to reach out to local reporters and newspapers; engage others: communicate the importance of NSF to colleagues, friends, and family.

I just found out that my first book 📗, LAB GIRL 🌱🌿🌳, was challenged by a parent and subsequently removed from the shelves of the library at Walworth High School in Elkhorn, Wisconsin.

So I decided to write a 🧵 on book 📚 #censorship 🚫 in American 🇺🇸 schools 🚸

Grateful to WOS for the 2024 grant powering a dream project with undergrad Carolina Martinez 🐦⛰️🧬 From fieldwork in South America's least-explored mountains to sample analysis and ms writing, watching her mature into a scientist is such a reward. Latin American faculty: applications open! #Mentoring

can't think of a better way to start my bluesky account than a shout-out to the 2025 Tropical Ferns and Lycophytes cohort. So honored to have been part of this enthusiastic community of fern lovers. Thanks to all teachers, classmates, and OTS, and to the ferns and streams of Costa Rica #buenhelechos

Sorry guys, I needed to purge the old Botany Feed to remove some nsfw posts that were getting too frequent. I tried to correct the old one, but in the meantime, after some modifications, I deleted it by accident.
