A timely interview where I share a bit about my trajectory, which is tightly linked to herbaria. Herbaria are treasure troves of biodiversity that allow us to study the present, reconstruct the past, and make predictions about the future, a crucial skill under climate change.

I have never been ashamed of being trained Duke University until today. How @susan_alberts and the upper administration could allow a global leader in biodiversity science to #divest in biodiversity collections is completely devastating. Please reconsider. #tragic

For me this is the crux of the matter. Some people may be wondering—if the collections are going to end up in another herbarium, what is the big deal? The specimens and their data will still be protected, right? But that isn't the whole story... 🧵 1/n

🙋‍♀️ My first research experience was in New York Botanical Garden's herbarium. The mentorship & experiences there confirmed that plant bio was the field for me & led directly to where I am now. I'm heartbroken for trainees who won't be able to fall in love with plants if the Duke University herbarium closes

The Texas Tech University Matt Johnson, PhD Lab gave amazing presentations at #Botany2024! Huge congratulations to Oluwaseun Florence for her first national conference presentation. Happy to have all of these wonderful lab mates!

I’m also glad meeting one BSA students’ representative in person Benjamin Ajayi and other fellow Nigerians doing cool stuff in Botany. In the same vein networking with different kinds of people doing cool stuff in Botany was my highlight for #Botany2024

Hey y'all, we don't have to worry about GPT anymore, they're downgrading it!

😂🤣. Asked ChatGPT4 to make jokes about this, they’re not bad!

Congratulations, Madison Bullock well deserved!
