Come check out my talk on environment and trait relationshios with diversification rate in Asclepias at 11:15 am in the Macroevolution session in San Xavier! #Botany2026

Centered title stating, "The relationship between environmental drivers and leaf functional traits in an adaptive radiation (Asclepias)". There are 4 milkweed species split between the corners of the slide.

If you want to hear about niche overlap in milkweeds, come to my talk on Monday in the Cooley Awards 2 session in Tucson C-D at 2 pm! #Botany2026

The title of the talk, "Is niche overlap of American Asclepias consistent with ecological speciation?" is listed with my name and affiliation underneath. There are four milkweed inflorescence photos arranged in each corner.

Had such a great time at #botany2025! Hearing about everyone's research was very inspiring and generated some new ideas for my own work. See you all in Tucson next year!

Fabulous #Botany2025 Plenary talk by Cat Adams @scienceismetal.bsky.social sharing insights from @plantingscience.bsky.social on how scientists can engage grade school students with plants. Most students only know fictional scientists so this programme is their first contact with real scientists.

The PLANTS program (funded by NSF) at @botsocamerica.bsky.social was a cornerstone of the conference each year, bringing together new-to-science scholars with more experienced mentors. It helped provide community, support, and connection to new scientists. The grant was terminated last week.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.
