My son's dog - a standard-sized goldendoodle - is staying with us for a few days. He is very curly-fluffy and looks like he would be so much fun to cuddle. However, somehow there is ALWAYS part of him (usually his chin) that is surprisingly and unexpectedly wet.

I don't know if it's legit to start off a book review by raving about the beauty of the book as a physical object... but wow, this one is gorgeous. (Also a great read!).
“Ferns”: the most beautiful book I’ve held in a while

Seriously, friends... If you are submitting an application with a writing sample that is flush with em-dashes... I don't know what to tell you. We are reasonably certain that's not your writing. That's ChatGPT. Come on, now. At least go back and edit.

Incidentally, local friends: if you haven't seen the Science Center's exhibit on Pompeii, definitely go. It's extremely well done, and (despite the levity in the photo of my daughter) very moving.

Today I'm putting together a list of stuff we need for my youngest as we prepare for him to leave for college. I have lots of feelings, of course, but I ran across this picture of his second grade science notebook. We are sending him into the world equipped with the important stuff, at least.

I've spent the past three months trying to pull together data for PS's 2005-2015 sessions so we can finally calculate accurate stats. I just clicked 'import'.... OMG the stress.

Ah yes. Time for my annual post-conference cold. 🤒 So far not too bad; could still be environmental stress. But my apologies to those sitting near me at the Muny just in case.

Another great moment for us at #Botany2025! When we learned our plenary speaker would be unable to speak as planned, Dr. Catrina Adams stepped up and gave the plenary in her place. She did an AMAZING job of highlighting PlantingScience's 20 years of supporting plant education!

Tariffs get all the attention, but ask economists what they're really worried about and many will point to the Trump administration's cuts to federal support for the sciences, including canceling grants and revoking student visas.

I heard the wildest conspiracy theory ever today. Apparently the going rationale as to why bird flu affects egg prices now when last year it was Biden's incompetence is because Biden orchestrated a mass murdering of egg laying hens in his final weeks in office. To...make a point? Be evil? Okay...
