I am so proud of the 48 Tennessee Tech students brave enough to take the challenge! They documented their 24 hr journey through #adaywithoutplants, and I loved reading the amazing and hilarious tweets about the modifications they had to make. Great job y’all!

Just to bring it all together, one of many articles on the subject... What would our planet be like without plants? metamorphosisproject.org/mandy-tracey-a… #adaywithoutplants #gladitsover

I created a resource page for #adaywithoutplants for anyone that would like to try it in their own classrooms. If you need any additional information please don't hesitate to ask! 🌵🌲🌴sites.tntech.edu/skrosnick/coul… 🌿🌾🌷 @themorrislab Dr. Melanie Link-Perez 🏳️‍🌈🌿 Kelly Moore Dr. Laura Lagomarsino

The #adaywithoutplants project was mentioned in the "Botanize!" podcast by Melissa Petruzzello🟧! Thank you so much! Everyone should check out her stuff! It's great! britannica.com/topic/Botanize…

Our native plant garden is getting some love :-) thanks Tennessee Tech!

I registered for this, and I encourage others who might be interested to do the same. scienceatl.org/event/relation…

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat. Two simple demos: First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

Please help add names of #DiverseBotanists past and present to the google doc below. I know there are many more that should be listed. If you can help fill in the blanks on the list, even better! Please share broadly. Botanical Society of America American Society of Plant Taxonomists docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Yikes! Our Pet Plant Project uses "plant blindness," but I am totally going to switch from now on and use the PAD. Unfortunately that paper was published a few years ago. I'll update our lab manuals accordingly in the next addition and my lectures too!

Thread. This weekend was the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Diasbilities Act #ACA30. It's a perfect time to listen to disability advocates in fields like medicine, law, education, outreach etc. and do the work to dismantle barriers (often literal) to an inclusive society.

THIS. And the reply! Thank you thoughtsofaphd.

I am over the moon! Kelly Moore and I just received an IMLS grant to use herbarium specimens in high school curricula. Our project is called “Rooting Students in Their Botanical History” - I cannot wait to get started!
