Hello Everyone, my name is Kandis Longboy Gilmore and I'm a biologist living in Northern California. For my day job, I currently work in Instructional Support at Sonoma State University, and I also have a company called Curious Nature Club where I teach workshops at nature centers and lead hikes.
I want to give a digital high five to @jbyoder.org - I was recently asked to give a talk on Co-evolution between plants and their pollinators to our local California Native Plant Society chapter meeting- and I found his work on Yucca moths and Yucca. Really fun!

I've been asked to give a talk about native plant and pollinator co-evolution in California. While I have some of my own ideas, I'd love to hear from the group what are your favorite native plant & pollinator pairings. Any anecdotes or special observations to share?

Gar Friend PART THREE:
The FINale!
My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium got sick and disfigured.
Ten years later, no one wanted her when it was time to find her a new home...

You didn’t hear this from us, but the Old English word 'sibb' meant “related by blood.”
This is where we get the 'sibling.'
And 'godsibb' essentially meant “godparent.”
Over time, it came to mean "close friend."
Now it is something we share w/ close friends...
'gossip.'

Happy birthday to me! We planted a tree in the morning and finished moving out of our old place this afternoon. Literally moving into a new chapter.

Gathered some native plants for the Biology department's booth at an event this weekend, found a cicada, and my library request came in. A decent afternoon!

Had my first mammogram today. It was really no big deal. From things I heard, I expected my b00bs to be mashed/rolled/kneaded repeatedly between two plates during the test.

I picked some Ribes (flowering currant) as an example Dicot for the flowering plants lab, and it cheers me up so much. #CaliforniaNativePlants
