DO NOT TOUCH THIS BUG: The most poisonous caterpillar in the U.S., puss caterpillars can be found in Southern states. If you are stung by one, you may get waves of intense pain, rash, fever, vomiting, and muscle cramps. https://t.co/b5TQCxNhZz

Prepping for a lecture on plant sensory perception this morning & I'm struck by how fascinating and complex plant interactions are.

Plants 'hear' pollinators, and invest more sugar in their nectar to make sure that the pollinator associates that plant with a good time😎 #plants

Coping with stress... Watch your language and how you speak to yourself... “instead of saying I’m struggling on, say I’m rising to the occasion.” Powerful example of reframing #AwareConference
