Yes, even Roman emperors cared about naming things. 🏛️ Marcus Aurelius said: “Tell yourself its proper name.” Wise advice for rare plants! 🌱 Two little-known species of #Annonaceae from Peru now formally described by @larschatrou.bsky.social, @luizhhziul.bsky.social et al.: doi.org/10.3897/phyt...

Het venijn zit in de… tja, soms in de staart, maar vaak ook in planten. Ontdek in dit artikel van UGent-magazine Durf Denken enkele straffe weetjes over giftige planten in huis en tuin, gedeeld door prof. Lars Chatrou. www.durfdenken.be/nl/onderzoek...

Welke planten in jouw woonkamer en tuin zijn giftig?

Nood aan nieuwe kamerplanten of extra groen in de tuin? Beter even researchen vooraleer je naar het tuincentrum trekt, zeker als je kinderen of huisdieren hebt.

Spring is kicking in, and the botanic gardens of @UGent are looking gorgeous under a blue sky. Inside the greenhouse there is a lot to be entertained by too, though. What about these stunning Araceae, Amorphophallus ferruginosus and Arisaema candidissimus?

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.
