I want to thank @NSF for support in developing this course and generally supporting undergraduate education and better representation of URMs in (biodiversity) science.

@UNCG @UNCG_CAS @bio_uncg

[Bryan McLean @sousliks]

Something I think a lot about is whether the next generation of scientists will be aware of – and able to – use the biodiversity data we are all working so hard to generate/digitize/publish.

So, I designed a course this semester called Introduction to Biodiversity Data.

In bloom in the greenhouse: Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) 🤩

S/O to our greenhouse manager, April Harris, for maintaining a beautiful diversity of plants up on the 4th floor of Sullivan. Students can enroll in BIO 315, 422, or 499 to work with these collections!

Today, we teamed up with theatre to learn about plant-based dyes! Not only are our native plants powerful medicinal and culinary ingredients, but they can color more than just our landscapes. Fun workshop curtesy of Tara Webb @UNCGTheatre

Congrats to lead author Christopher Cotter who conducted the research as a postbac student in the @bio_uncg Osena lab and is now a phd student at @UTKnoxville! https://t.co/hWkF1VX9nr

Increasingly popular #glutenfree African grain exhibits antioxidant activity in human cells, adding to evidence of health benefits. New collaborative study from @bio_uncg & @uncg_chem just published in Antioxidants. (With a student 1st author 💙!)

My first paper (also my first first author paper) is out now! We tracked GI morphology in a population of wild North American deer mice and show that the length of the gut is up to 35% longer in winter than summer. @sousliks @Mammalogists @bio_uncg
