Proud to announce international publication of my first book for children, The Stuff that Stuff is Made Of, about the things we make with plants. My proceeds to Kew and WWF. More here: jondrori.co.uk/ssmo #botany #plantscience #history #folklore #kidsbooks #kidsreads #STEM #STEMfun #booksky

Hi folks, I've finally set up a Bluesky account properly linked to my own domain, so please follow me there, instead of here, for all things #botany, #science, #education and #technology! Thanks! New account is @jondrori.co.uk
(I have a new book coming out - more on that over there)

Dear #botany folks... Any idea what disperses the seeds of black pepper (Piper nigrum) in the wild in India (where it originated)? Bats? Birds? Just scattered? I've tried all usual sources and can only find the odd paper about S. America. Xx jon
