Conspiracy!
I am so jealous. All hail Welwitschia our desert queen.
No Tenure for Oklahoma.
Instead, faculty will be on "renewable contracts “tied to teaching effectiveness, student completion, job placement, and economic alignment.”

Cannabinoids Beyond Cannabis: The Hidden Potential of Liverworts
botany.one/2026/01/cann...
Liverworts are emerging as unexpected sources of cannabinoid-like compounds with promising anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
Congrats to you both! I look forward to reading it once my copy arrives!
Congrats Dr BeKa
All @ijpsjournal.bsky.social authors are special to us, but it is a particular treat to publish undergraduate research. To celebrate our undergrad authors, we started making mock journal covers featuring pictures of undergrad researchers at work. A thread of mock covers from 2025. /1

IJPS is high on my list for student research for this reason. Now finding the time to work on those manuscripts is an entirely different story
Friends, I am quite suddenly and with no warning teaching an upper level ecology class in three weeks. If anyone has any ecology lab materials they are willing to share with me, please reach out.
I’ve started wearing a hat at work most days because I like hats. Particularly backwards baseball hats. The students have no opinion on this but man are my co-workers in other colleges and department confused by this. You can be an academic and not wear a blazer. It’s ok friends.
🔬🌱 We are planning ahead for Botany 2026! We’re looking for folks interested in helping organize a hands-on workshop on building custom LI-COR chambers and measuring gas exchange on non-conventional plant material.
👉 Reach out to jsavage@d.umn.edu if interested!

Truly the worst plant.
It better be doing some CAM
Ceramic mug that is green and white and says “Phys-fest Konza Prairie 2016” with an irga design on it
Phys-fest 1 was 9 years ago?!?
Wow. How do say goodbye to the appliance that taught many people on many internet platforms a new and exciting way to make ramen and ruin @kheyduk.bsky.social’s day?
🌿✨ Plant Fizz Friday! ✨🌿
We want to show off amazing things plant ecophysiologists are doing.... that means you! Twice a month, we want to showcase something from our community (lab setup, fieldwork, publication, etc).
To participate, send 1 - 3 images, and a description to mok.danielwl@gmail.com
Academia may not give you job security, flexibility, or wealth, but it will let you unexpectedly connect to eduroam in foreign cities
Your talk was great James! I really enjoyed it!!
For me, the real humbling bit of this was: you HAVE to keep a regularly updated list of every student who goes on a lab field trip or spends a semester cleaning glassware, otherwise you absolutely will not be able to remember them all at Tenure Time
Were you who was drawing cats of Botany in 2021?
Ugghhhh a little while back someone posted 4 questions they ask students to answer on the first day of classes. One question was something along the lines of “what would help you succeed in this class” and I cannot find the post. So if that was you, please tell me.
The lack of a Palm lined pool filled with all my friends at my house is really bringing me down.
Are you or someone you know an Evolutionary parasitologist? Wanna come work with me? Low cost of living, lots of areas doe outdoor recreation nearby. Please share far and wide! 🧪 🌱 nsuok.csod.com/ux/ats/caree...
A mountain of corned beef sandwiched between two potato latkes. With applesauce and sour cream on the side and a side of coleslaw. From Sherman’s Deli in Palm Springs, CA
Behold the Beef N Latke! This baby fed me for a whole day. I know @martinebotany.bsky.social tried this beast at #botany2025 and I hope others did as well.
Well #botany2025 you were a dream per usual.
I takes me 2-3 attempts to get through the whole thing. It’s amazing.
My fellow big backs going to #botany2025 Sherman’s Deli has an sandwich that is corned beef (Or pastrami) sandwiched between two potato pancakes. It is amazing and near the top of my list for must do during Palm Springs visits.
