Had an amazing time at #Botany2025 conference. Connecting with bryologists and lichenologists at the #ABLS booth, first time being a PLANTS mentor, presenting our work on tropical stream bryophytes, and listening to so many great talks!

Awesome talk about Planting Science, so glad to hear about the impact of the program in the last 20 years. This was a great choice for substitute plenary address, it shows how important is teaching to the botanical community. #Botany2025

I'm almost ready to upload my #Botany2025 talk. Mining for the Renewable Energy Transition Threatens Plant Diversity. Its a not so cheery topic, but an urgent one. How can scientists prevent extinction in the face of accelerated mining and does a just energy transition include biodiversity?

I am excited to welcome #Botany2025 to my big backyard in the California desert. I kicked off the conference with a field trip up the Palm Springs tramway to explore the beautiful flora of the San Jacinto Mountains. I hope everyone enjoys Palm Springs!
