Too much staring at TEMs all day... I wish I could be looking for plants in the Kimberley

I dont usually collect pokemon cards... but i came across a Professor Rowan card

Botanizing in Western Australia 🦘 with Rowan Sage + Yuzhen Fan and Ellie Jordan from ANU! #plantphysfriday #plantscience 🌱

Wearing my Plant Fizz shirt of course @bsa-ecophys.bsky.social

honestly for those people I'm not 100% sure if I have the right person

two more people with 16 and 22 pubs

(but I'm preeeetty sure it's the same people because their PhD graduation year lines up with the award year)

Anxious about my future in research.... so I downloaded the names of people that received an NSERC Postdoc Fellowship between 2020-2024 in the "Evolution and Ecology" and "Plant and Tree Biology" categories and used the "scholar" package in R to look them up and count the number of publications.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,721,892!

Another Tribulus astrocarpus plant, here growing right next to a C4 Tribulus sp.

I think it's cool that the C2 photosynthetic pathway allows some non-C4 plants to occur in the same environments as C4 plants!

Check out this Tribulus astrocarpus—a species using a weak photorespiratory CO2 pump, so-called sub-C2—growing on top of very hot(!) and dry soils in Australia. (Photo courtesy of R. Sage.)

More measurements of CO2 compensation points in absence of respiration (C*) on Flaveria sonorensis plants grown at 200 and 800 ppm CO2

loess regression fit to light and dark periods separately?

Which one for visualizing a diurnal gas exchange response of a CAM plant? I've seen people use the first one (shading under the points with geom_ribbon), but a loess regression smooths out some of the noise.
