By far my favorite paper this year.
A collaboration between Mapuche elders—including Machi Patricia—and ecologists, reflecting on building trust and shared understanding in the face of environmental crisis.

I'll be presenting my talk "Get Low: Evolutionary Transitions to Non-flying Mammal Pollination in Protea) at 4pm today Tuesday in Mesquite B at #Botany2025!
Come learn about Protea in South Africa and what else changes when they species have different primary pollinators!
