One thing I really enjoy doing as a #BlackBotanistsAtWork is educating others about plants. I give presentations and tours to groups of all ages, covering topics such as general botany, native plants, plant pests and diseases, and climate change. #BlackBotanist#educator
Part of my job is taking photos of plants for our Living Collections database and Plant Finder website. I get to see so many beautiful plants & so far, I’ve contributed over 21,000 images! You’ll rarely see me without my 📸😊. @mobotgarden#BlackBotanistAtWork#BlackBotanistsWeek
Whenever I take a walk I always observe the weeds I see and some of them have nice flowers. Like the railroad creeper, Mimosa app, milkweed. Unwanted as people call them, they still have something beautiful to show.

This week on our blog we are featuring a guest blog from @K_Bioguy_Cox. Learn more about Kevin’s journey through plant science and why he is passionate about scientific outreach to Black students: https://t.co/vxGii0TVGa

Hi, I'm Sandra, a PhD student @UVMplantbio. I use bioinformatics, molecular & computational biology to study the fungal microbiome of blueberry roots to understand how belowground interactions influence aboveground traits. #BlackBotanistsRollCall#BlackBotanistsWeek2022
Hello! My name is Miyauna and I am a second year PhD student who works on how monarchs do in urban and prairie milkweed habitats. In the past, I have worked on how bees impact echinacea pollination and bee diversity in urban gardens🦋🌺#BlackBotanistsWeek#BlackBotanistsRollCall
