It’s #BlackBotanistsWeek! We are Jamil and Jeremy, two self-taught botanists here in San Jose, California! We share photos from our garden along with fun plant facts, and sometimes we even host house plant care workshops! #PlantsAroundTheGlobe #BlackBotanistsWeek2021

Hey y'all! I'm Kevin Cox-an HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow at the Danforth Center. I study plant diseases at a single-cell level to figure out how plants & microbes talk to each other. I also use YouTube & Twitch for #scicomm and just to have fun with games! 1/2 #BlackBotanistsWeek

I'm Lorenzo, a molecular biologist PhD Candidate studying plant-microbial symbiosis in the root systems. It's always hard to pick a fav plant, so I'll go with my fav houseplant, the Rattlesnake Calathea which likes to move its leaves throughout the day #BlackBotanistsWeek2021

Since we’re talking about house plants today… I’m Stacey and my PhD is in plant immunity. These days, I nurture house plants and give advice on how to keep home, office, or outdoor plants surviving and thriving 🍃🌿🌱🌳🪴 #BlackBotanistsWeek2021 #houseplanthour

Heyy!👋🏾 I’m Taylor, PhD student studying plant-microbe interactions 🦠🌱 I love plants—yet I like to make plants sick by infecting them w/ bad bacteria 🧫💉#BlackBotanistsWeek #BlackBotanistsWeek2021

I have to stop adding “please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions” at the end of my emails because I be lying!!!! Please hesitate.

Hey friends 👋🏾 see how HBCUs hold the keys to cultivating talented STEM students and why they need more support. Thank you @VirginiaGewin! nature Nature Careers Fisk University #BlackInSTEM #BLACKandSTEM 🤞🏾

How it started... How it's going

I’m pleased to announce that I accepted a position at Case Western/ VA starting in Jan 2022. Most of my K grant docs are done, however, I’m writing 2 publications simultaneously, my thesis & am also house shopping. I can smell the finish line🏁#78DaysToDefense #85DaysToGraduation

I ❤️ fly professors 😭

The thrift store 👌🏾

I continuously do things without taking time to reflect on my progress. A friend commented on my email signature today & after leading a TA training, presenting during lab meeting, AND teaching my own class, I realize that I’m really doing ALL of the things I want to and more ✨

Why are we not celebrating the South African scientists who discovered and alerted the world about Omicron instead of isolating them within the borders of their country?

I don't know if this will ever stop being jarring. Morning reading: Bernard, MA, Johnson, AC, Hopkins-Laboy, T, & Tabak, LA. (2021). The US National Institutes of Health approach to inclusive excellence. Nature Medicine 2021 27:11, 27(11), 1861–1864. doi.org/10.1038/s41591…
