Well, #Botany2025 peeps....It's been 84 years that I'm stuck at the Dallas airport
A photo of a glass of beer at a counter. In the back is an airport boarding gate and through the windows the sunset is visible.

If you see me at #Botany2025, I might have some goodies to share! 🌿🌻
Photo of a table. In it there are postcards that say "Make your voice heard. The Plant Science Bulletin is your space to share ideas, professional experiences, and communicate with Society members". In front of the postcards, there are four buttons that say "I publish in the Plant Science Bulletin" and "I review books for the Plant Science Bulletin".

Double cat tax
A photo of two cats, one black and one tabby, watching a video of birds eating on a large TV screen. They are very close to the screen and trying to catch the birds.

had a small #Plantsgiving dinner for two this year, with 33 species across 19 families. But I want to introduce #Fungsgiving, we had six (maybe seven, depending on species concepts) species from 4 families of mushrooms, mostly foraged, only one purchased.

Got to see some of the aurora last night. Less intense than in May and without beams or movement. Still worth it!
