From the pages of @jxbotany.bsky.social to the poster session of #SEBconference @sebiology.bsky.social: our latest on #mistletoe biomechanics, anatomy, and seedling development! @plantbiomax.bsky.social and I invite you to stop by poster A5.49 to chat and see mistletoes come to life with 3D glasses!

3D virtual segmentation model of a stem in cross-section. The wood and bark are different shades of brown. Part of the bark and wood are occupied by the tissue of an endoparasitic plant, which is represented in purple.

Playing "spot the difference" while analyzing original and final published versions of the illustrations included in the Flora Batava series.

What is the Flora Batava, you ask? Find out here: historical-citizen-botany.github.io/website/

Photo of an academic researcher analyzing an old book containing illustrations of plants. The researcher is in a room where other illustrations and paintings are displayed in the background. The book is placed on top of a large cushion and opened in a page showing drawings of yellow-flowered herbs. The researcher is a woman with long hair, dressed in black, and gazing at the book with her head low.
