Glad to hear @BucknellU Professor Chris Martine (@MartineBotany), biology, talking about his "Plants Are Cool, Too!" YouTube series, and his recent book Shrubs and Vines of New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic States, on this edition of The WildStory podcast. https://t.co/S4SFU012LD

@trevorwoodruff Appreciate your work, too, Coach @trevorwoodruff!

A recent study co-authored by #Bucknell Biology Professor Chris Martine reveals how the Martu Aboriginal people's traditional practices, like controlled burning and seed gathering, help native plants thrive in Australia’s deserts.

#SICB2025 Bluesky migration appears to be somewhat incomplete ... but I'll be over there with that gang. And in Atlanta IRL for some #SICBplants action. @martinebotany.bsky.social

Excited to have this in my hands! 3rd edition of
#Shrubs & Vines of NJ and the Mid-Atlantic States, field guide that Rachel and I first did in '01 - now back in print after a year of text revision, artwork rescanning, and re-creation of the layout. #botany https://t.co/28nh5dL7cQ

Wrapped my section of BIOL 201: Bio Inquiries & Observations w/ a focus on history of species "discovery" helped along by @RichardConniff's excellent
#SpeciesSeekers book. 15/16 students finishing their 1st semester at #Bucknell, although a bunch still have a Chem exam tonight.

Last Field Botany trip of the semester: Dries Orchards, where we learned about how apples are grown, harvested, processed, and sold... and turned into both sweet and hard cider. #bisonflowers #iamabotanist

[Sarah Chapman @Schapman789]

Great final trip in Field Botany to Dries Orchards! Got an inside scoop about all things apples — how they are grown, harvested, sorted, packaged, or processed into cider! And also discussed challenges with harvests due to disease and climate change. #BisonFlowers @MartineBotany

[Sarah Chapman @Schapman789]

When dog walks with Dad turn into what I’ve learned in Field Botany! Found lots of CT’s state flower, the Mountain-Laurel, as well as Xmas Fern! #Kalmialatifolia #Polystichumacrostichoides @MartineBotany #BisonFlowers

[Sarah Chapman @Schapman789]

After a semester of collecting plants, it was super rewarding to mount specimens for the Wayne E. Manning herbarium at Bucknell University!!! #BisonFlowers @MartineBotany

[Chris Martine | Plants are Cool, Too! @MartineBotany]

@Schapman789 Looks really good!

[Chris Martine | Plants are Cool, Too! @MartineBotany]

With this cuppa we reached 62 species and 29 plant families in our 2024 #Plantsgiving count. Fin.

[Chris Martine | Plants are Cool, Too! @MartineBotany]

This charcuterie appetizer spread + a couple drinks has our #plantsgiving species count currently at 45.

Shoutout @HaussmannLab for letting our Field Botany class survey tree/shrub recruitment in his backyard: an oak-hickory forest infested by spongy moth (Lymantria dispar). Second pic shows spongy moth egg casings on the bark of a chestnut oak.
