The official twitter of the Botany After Dark Podcast, bringing you weekly posts on the darker, more controversial side of #botany. #ethnobotany#podcast
It's been a bit but I'm working on some pod scripts rn and need some input re: #flowers/#plants in general and their associations as a mode to discuss conflict & war. I'm an ethnobotanist who's also a white American, just so you know the lens and bias I'm working with. #podcast

every quarter i give my students an extra credit assignment to make a meme about something we covered in class. this quarter i taught US History from approx 1815-1920(ish), and the kids had some spicy takes (thread of memes)
This is what I have so far:
Sunflower, for Ukraine
Jasmine, for Syria
Palestinian poppy (Anemone coronaria), for Palestine
Any input, additions, or suggestions would be appreciated.

They weren't available at time of posting, but wanted to update that the foxglove episode now has closed captions, for those needing/wanting them. Captioning past episodes is in-process, but there are also corresponding blog posts for most of them.
