Can’t believe this #mentorship cohort batch is set to wrap up this month! Two years ago, I joined the @geospatialwomen.bsky.social Mentorship Team as a Public Outreach Co-Lead during the time that I was looking for inspiration and creative outlet. Well, I found both and more! 💜

My most favorite fact about sakura is that they have one of the oldest and longest phenological records of all time. It’s a treasure trove of data that scientists can use to track climate change over the decades.

Sending this feed with some phenological data record I took for this year 🌸
