Are you planning to attend Botany 2025? Consider applying to be a PLANTS mentor! You'll be paired with another mentor to help your mentee network, comprehend talks, and discuss grad school and careers, all while making them feel welcome in the botany community. (1/2)

Do you know any undergrads who are interested in science communication (or are voracious social media users😉)

Let’s botanize is running an awesome scicomm internship this spring! A great way for students to combine their love for botany and communicating the awesomeness of plants!

Five @botsocamerica.bsky.social committees have student rep openings this year!

Plus, apps are open for the 2025–2027 Board Student Rep position as my term ends this summer!

Passionate about botany? Get involved! Reach out if you have any questions regarding the committees/application form!
