All @ijpsjournal.bsky.social covers are AI-free. Just sayin'
AI slop gracing the cover of Royal Society B. Not only in AI yellow but scientifically nonsensical. Come on. I'm certain human photographs and artworks were ignored to platform ... this.

Congratulations @astragaler.bsky.social, with @wile-phylote.bsky.social and I, on putting together a great history of plant systematics, using Liliales and Asparagales as an example of how changes in evolutionary theory and data has shaped modern day understandings of the plant tree of life.

Another Primer in Plant Sciences! 🎉 🌱

Fantastic topic, lots of nuances reviewed here to clear up misconceptions. Check out the appendix for an extended glossary and some questions you can use to assess student understanding.

Please consider writing a primer in your area of expertise!
