I dropped the ball on our progress toward @aspbofficial.bsky.social Plant Biology 26. Since our last update, we’ve spent 15 days exploring NPS sites & state parks, catching up with friends & family, visiting state 50 for the boys, hiking in Acadia NP, and visiting Quebec.

The road to @aspbofficial.bsky.social #plantbiology26 has begun! Day 1: VA - WV - VA - MD. 2 hikes in 2 different VA state parks, and a visit to Harper’s Ferry NHS. We earned our Junior ranger badges while sweating buckets in a heat advisory!

Hiking on the Appalachian Trail last weekend, and this guy decided that the AT logo looked a little familiar and decided to have some fun with the markup feature in the photos app. @cwgabriel.bsky.social @cwtycho.penny-arcade.com #AcquisitionsIncorporated

You’re the first person to read that and actually ask! The most fascinating thing to me about plants is that they solve problems rather than run from them, and their solutions range from quite elegant to incredibly head-scratching (rubisco, anyone?).

My spring semester Lego build took longer than usual (probably due to my accidental overload + saying yes to too many things). Now that it’s spring break, I finally finished. Cue the Fantasmic soundtrack!

Do you have ideas for creative ways to teach plant bio concepts to K12 and undergrad students? If so, ASPB would love to pay you to develop these strategies & share with the community. Ask me if you have ?s and see more info below!

Science solidarity. This alleged cut would end NSF. NIH would be next. University presidents: where is your courage to speak out?
