Delighted to be featured in @botany.one's Meeting Plant Scientists series! 🌱 I talk about #evolution, genome size, #polyploidy, #gingers and #palms, and why #plants are absolutely fascinating. www.botany.one/sreetama-bha...

Trait evolution drives speciation through complex interactions between genome size, adaptation and allometry
Speciation shapes biodiversity, yet why some lineages diversify faster than others remains unclear. Theory predicts that traits promote ecological speciation through adaptation, but their evolvability...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The iDiv Female Scientists initiative shows how workplace culture shapes gender equity in academia. Supportive spaces invite change from the ground up — where that’s missing, top-down action is key. buff.ly/YzP4Whj
Transparency reveals the scale of the problem, and the commitment to act can lead to meaningful change.

This image is a meme using humor to highlight a frustration in academic research. The top part, labeled "A GAP IN THE LITERATURE," represents the perception of a research gap—a topic that appears to be unexplored or insufficiently studied in academic work. The bottom part, labeled "NON-ENGLISH PAPER THAT NO ONE READS," humorously suggests that such a "gap" often exists not because the topic is unstudied but because the relevant research is published in languages other than English and overlooked by English-speaking researchers.

This reflects a common issue in academia where language barriers result in valuable non-English studies being underutilized or ignored, perpetuating the appearance of gaps in the literature.
