And we're submitted! Thank you to our incredible panellists, question askers, and project supporters.

Keep an eye on our account as we share our most important questions ❓🌵🌳🌴🌿🪴☘️🌲🌾🦠🔬👩🏿‍🔬🧪

[Dr. Emily May Armstrong @emilyxarmstrong]

Our "100 @PlantQuestions Facing Plant Science: An International Perspective" paper has finally been submitted to @NewPhyt - it's been a year of hard work, new skills, and we have built an incredible international team of plant lovers.

Stay tuned for updates!

Anti astroturf action!

📢New Publication! "The dark side of artificial greening: Plastic turfs as widespread pollutants of aquatic environments"🌿

We have found that artificial turf fibers account for up to 15% of the meso- and macroplastics in rivers and sea surface waters!

The sensationalism of the 'toxic' hemlock found near a Suffolk school, has sparked this great @BBCnews article about UK poisonous plants.
☠️🌼
DYK most native toxic plants evolved toxins to deter grazers like mammoths & aurochs, not to kill humans!

An interesting twist on the 100PSQs project. ChatGPT can produce interesting questions, but they lack the creativity and cultural awareness of human-centred experience and lived experience.

Our project wrangler @emilyxarmstrong is currently running a mini 5-part workshop with pollination ecologist @mirandabeegirl - funded by @BritishEcolSoc & explores an important Q:

"How can we make plant science education, practice and research more equitable and inclusive?"

[Dr. Emily May Armstrong @emilyxarmstrong]

Four beautiful photos capturing @MirandaBeeGirl & I's first #Hortecology session at @Hidden_Gardens on 16th. Funding from @BritishEcolSoc & more!

Discussions included pollinator ecologies, plant histories, carbon capture, nature-belonging - a truly brilliant start 🐝🪲🌱🌿

New Phytologist is in the news! A recent paper by Traud Winkelmann was featured in New Scientist last week: https://t.co/xFoSQGtrwq. You can also read an excellent summary of the 100 @PlantQuestions study by @alisonmsnyder in @axios: https://t.co/yrZdJZoBoj

[100 Plant Science Questions @PlantQuestions]

We're in the news! @alisonmsnyder spotlighted our work on @axios - sharing our #PlantQuestions project with a huge audience. Speaking to @emilyxarmstrong & @shyamphartyal, we explored problems in global plant connectivity, funding & more

🌎How will climate change alter the ability of plants to grow in different environments and how might plants evolve due to climate change?

Join us to read these @annbot papers to discover some answers to these questions taken from @PlantQuestions project (1/12)

🦠How does the plant microbiome affect stress tolerance?

Let’s explore these @annbot papers that provide valuable clues to answer this question taken from @PlantQuestions project #PlantsFascinationWeek

[Dr. Emily May Armstrong @emilyxarmstrong]

For #PlantsFascinationWeek, @annbot are sharing some of our questions from the @PlantQuestions project - and highlighting some of their supporting papers. Excited to see how some of our questions are already being explored in the plant community! 💚🌱☘️🌵

[Annals of Botany @annbot]

🌿🌸🌱Welcome to #PlantsFascinationWeek!

To celebrate our fascination for plants, this week we’ll be sharing relevant plant science questions outlined on the @NewPhyt article https://t.co/3zCck4B6b6 together with the @annbot papers that contribute to address them. Stay tuned!
