🇫🇷 🇺🇸 It was an honor to direct this major project between Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and Howard University Howard University College of Arts and Sciences. After 8 months of hard work with the BRI Team of Paris 1, we created an innovative and historical cooperation that will impact the Humanities and Social Sciences globally! We did it!
I am overwhelmed by the support I received last night! Thank you Dr. Laura Lagomarsino for uplifting my work and the important work of Dr. Tanisha M. Williams 🌳 #BlackBotanistsWeek 🌺 and nominating us for this incredible award! ❤️
With climate records being shattered weekly, this cartoon is even more apt. July global avg temp is the latest to fall; a new analysis by khaustein.bsky.social 🌍 finds it's the hottest ever recorded, possibly the hottest in 120,000 years. Here's what this means & why there’s still hope.🧵
Great to work with people who go the extra mile to provide our students with a 1st class education grounded in the quest for intellectual freedom, social justice, wellness, experiential learning & academic excellence. Thanks for making our Howard University College of Arts and Sciences Orientation a success! 💙🦬❤️
And another new species of Miconia #Melastomataceae, from the Andes of Southern Peru. First publication of Juan Angulo, my awesome advisee at GC CUNY Biology and New York Botanical Garden. Also an honor to name this species in honor of our colleague Dr. Janelle M. Burke 🌺☕️🍜 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
So happy to see Juan Angulo's first PhD chapter out. A great use of his time and the #NYBGscience resources (when Covid prevented field work) to research this understudied aspect of #Melastomataceae morphology and reproductive biology. Thanks to Dr. Janelle M. Burke 🌺☕️🍜 for the collab.
I've never been more embarrassed to be a double alum of Duke University than today. To close Duke herbarium and disperse its 800K specimens is appalling. As a current herbarium director who started at Duke, the message is clear: Duke is no longer a global leader in biodiversity research
So incredibly honored to be recognized with this cohort. Howard University #IamaBotanist
