Hey fellow weed scientists in academia with a teaching appointment:
Do you still require your students to do a weed collection/herbarium? How many weeds do you cover in Weed ID? Do you go to the field or bring plants in for Weed ID?
Any feedback helps! Thanks!!

Spring is here! Reposting this as we're still looking for fields from AB and SK. DM me for details!

Hey folks! There won't be a #WeedIDWednesday this week as I'm home with sick kids. The answer to last week is toadflax! I'll try and be back next week (although by then the kids may have passed the sickness to me 🙃)
