Woopwoop!🎉A little delayed for the #BlackBotanistsWeek but here I am!👩🏾🔬I study how plants can survive without water🌱💧➡️#desiccationtolerance. This is found in many seeds and a few plants called #resurrectionplants.*the 2nd pic is an Geneia@home experimentation🤓orchid pollination.



Black ppl have historically had a relationship w/ plants (i.e. embodied knowledge) but there are few #BlackBotanists. This #BlackBotanistsWeek lets ask what's pushing #BlackBotanists out of academia? In honor of Day 3 #BlackPlantLove "New growth" I appreciate you. & N. Waheed poem




What an amazing day hearing talks from my fellow third-year PhD students at today's Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences symposium! Hearing about topics from Begonia leaf development to the chemistry of the cell wall. And to top it all off I won joint best presentation with @Lindsayplantsci !😱😁


So much fun to be back at Clock Club yesterday and in the city of my undergrad! And well done Sergio Gil for a fab talk. Gerben van Ooijen



Seleno... what? Another one bites the dust for Holly Kay Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh mdpi.com/2073-4409/11/3…

Potentially my favourite talk EVER by Kristin Teßmar-Raible on time information decoding from the sun and the moon at EBRS this morning 🤩 #EBRS2022 European Biological Rhythms Society
