Happy Birthday Alexander Von Humboldt. On a beautiful day last month, I had the good fortune to visit good friends who live right near this monument, which is in gorgeous Humboldt Park. #WhoWasABotanist #GlobalPowerOfBotany
@naomibot As a college botany instructor I try to foreground this regularly, in #GlobalPowerofBotany which was a special course about exactly this, and in my teaching of general topics in #botany - eager to connect or collaborate. Message me. #whowasabotanist #whoisabotanist #iamabotanist
Me to college freshman son, majoring in political science: So, even a completely paused and possibly collapsed economy still has what?
Son: Labor?
Me: True. I was thinking photosynthesis.
Son: That too.

This year marks the 50th anniversaries of #EarthDay and the discovery of #RubiscoOxygenase, an important plant enzyme that directly links #photosynthesis and #photorespiration, a glitch that costs yield ๐๐ฑ๐ (1/3)
I always end my upper-level botany class with a story about Zea diploperennis. This year, I re-centered the narrative to highlight the role of the late Dra. Luz Marรญa Villarreal de la Puga of Universidad de Guadalajara. #WhoWasABotanist #LatinaAndSTEM #GlobalPowerOfBotany
Joseph Banks died #otd in 1820. A person #WhoWasABotanist who also grasped the #GlobalPowerOfBotany #plantlove #otd (Portrait by the unparalleled Joshua Reynolds)
On institutions dedicating themselves to combatting "plant amnesia" to save the planet and its people - a brand-new paper in a brand-new journal. #plantlove #IAmABotanist #GlobalPowerOfBotany https://t.co/UhrQsAFTFy
Barnard students in Professor Hilary Callahanโs botany class get to conduct research at the world-famous @NYBG, learn coding, and discover how to preserve plants from anywhere in the world. #EarthDay2019 #GlobalPowerofBotany https://t.co/dfIi8IX74r
An amazing and deserving novel wins, heartening for botanists, treehuggers and, I suspect, the trees themselves. #Pulitzer #EarthDay #IAmABotanist #PlantsAreCoolToo #GlobalPowerOfBotany https://t.co/oIG1SPYurA
Day 7 & last. Reena Karani first recommended this to me ~20 years ago and it's still a favorite. Pollan, now famous, got his start writing about gardens and botany. #books #reader #botany #domestication #IAmABotanist #WhoIsABotanist #GlobalPowerOfBotany #GlobalPowerOfPlants
Day 6. Understanding forests, atmospheres or the ocean requires studying fossils. Also enzymes & pigments. Eating the Sun is a wonderfully nerdy selection #books #reading #photosynthesis #thylakoid #RUBISCO #sustainability #IAmABotanist #GlobalPowerOfPlants #GlobalPowerOfBotany
Day 5. Paleo-organisms ("fossils") are organisms. This is informative and compelling overview of how plants interacted with past atmospheres & ecosystems. I've got something even nerdier for tomorrow. #IAmABotanist #GlobalPowerOfPlants #GlobalPowerOfBotany #books #photosynthesis
Finally finished reading The Overstory by Richard Powers. I liked reading it as much as I love listening to this,strangely missing from the novel's wonderfully huge number of cultural references to trees. #IAmABotanist #GlobalPowerOfBotany https://t.co/x8bs0XRxOX
@MartineBotany Wow! My one & only SICB was back in 2004, New Orleans. Fun, but I hung out mostly with fish genomics people. Felt like a land-stranded Lemna. Prospects for symposia in DC 2021 or Phoenix 2022? #GreenWave #iamabotanist #GlobalPowerOfBotany @TheUnPAKProject @leafpolish @MaryHeskel
Few botanical phenomena rival explosion of a hot chestnut in the toaster oven, except maybe 2 more exploding after removing tray to cool on the counter. #IAmABotanist #25DaysOfPlantmas #GlobalPowerOfBotany

Makunga Okwande discusses benefit-sharing, flowing back thru Rastafarian-founded non-profit to "custodians of knowledge" & their communities, especially for South Africa's Sceletium tortuosum. #ethnobotany #BOTANY2018 #WhoIsABotanist #GlobalPowerOfBotany
My approach to teaching DBH is changed forever! Fabulous images of this tree Quercus robur tree, from Google maps and elsewhere. #GlobalPowerofBotany #BotanyYesterdayTodayTomorrow #WhoWasABotanist #WhoIsABotanist #WhoWillBeABotanist #iamabotanist https://t.co/uZClXNCEXY https://t.co/rcUZy9KDAi
