The Palestinian scholar @danaelkurd.bsky.social learned about the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks while visiting the Jewish Museum of Berlin. For New Lines, she describes the whiplash of absorbing atrocities across multiple decades and reflects on worlds overturned.

Still looking for phd students. If you know a student interested in drought mortality, dendroecology, tree phys, or particularly NSC +14c, please reach out. A growing dept with broad expertise. Outdoors access in Las Vegas is pretty great. Also, giant glowing orbs? shorturl.at/lwxSW

Watching ‘The Shining’ (the only horror movie rising to the level of art, SNS). W/O Reading the book or watching ‘Dr. Sleep’, I always interpreted it as a story of toxic masculinity, DV, gaslighting, and the coping mechanisms of its victims. Honestly more terrifying than the supernatural, imo.

Let's get some plant ecophys introductions going on to connect everyone that is new. I'm a physiologist that loves the plant vascular system (especially the phloem) and anything phenology. I saw @wmhammond.bsky.social join recently. Want to introduce yourself?

Would anyone be interested in a plant water-relations workshop? E.g., measuring and analyzing water potential, turgor, hydraulic conductance and vulnerability, etc? I'm thinking about proposing one, since I'm close enough to #Botany2024 to drive with the necessary equipment.
Botany 2024 Workshop Submission Deadline is November 1, 2023! Share your expertise at this vibrant conference with hands-on sessions like software demos, data analysis tutorials, botanical drawing, and more.

Why ‘bogtanist’ you might ask? My plant obsession started years ago with carnivorous plants. They still hold a special place in my heart! I’d love to see your first plant loves below 👇!!
