@sandrannadi1 @SAREProgram @jmharris777 Congratulations!!!

[Daria M @dare2bloom]

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

@PlantPolyploidy @mobotgarden Yes! It is ‘Flamethrower’! We just planted it last year, and I love it!

[Daria M @dare2bloom]

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

[Obinna Onyesoh @obyno_19]

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.

@meriania @mobotgarden Thanks for the shout out @meriania! 😊

@PlxntBxbe We sometimes note which plants have fungal issues, but the tree in the pic is one that is notorious for getting CAR every year. So, I knew when and where to find it.

#BlackBotanistsWeek2022 Day#3, Part 3: I want to highlight the #biodiversity of life #plants support, such as galls. There are so many intricate and beautiful designs. And we’ve barely scratched the surface on how they interact with plants!

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

@sci_with_miy Your research sounds so cool!
