Great information about poisonous plants, how to identify plants to prevent contact and how to treat an injury if it occurs. Also see https://t.co/nHaMiowRUv @UofAALES @ualbertaScience @UAlbertaNorth @UofA_HSE

[CCOHS @CCOHS]

Can you identify these poisonous plants? If you work outdoors, understand the risks and know what to do if you’ve been exposed. Learn more: https://t.co/pryExrvuRE

Great #UAlberta research

[University of Alberta @UAlberta]

About 600 seemingly disparate #fungi that had resisted categorization have been shown to have a common ancestor, according to #UAlberta-led research that used genome sequencing to give these creatures a new classification home. @ualbertascience @tips_spiie https://t.co/YfytiHDakc
