Thrilled to announce the creation of the @elisabethbik.bsky.social Science Integrity Fund to provide "funding for training programs, grants, or awards for science integrity advocates." Thanks to @science.org for covering this. Help us grow the fund with a tax-deductible donation.

I'm incredibly proud of the work the broad plant science community has done through the ROOT&SHOOT initiative. Given its nature, our future funding is uncertain. Please give us a boost by sharing this announcement and joining us for the event, we'd love to have a big turnout. Thanks! 💚 #PlantSci

Is anyone going to the AAAS meeting in Boston in February? I would love a recap of this panel discussion! (Or even better, livestream? Would that be possible AAAS? "Sustaining Inclusion Work in Challenging Political & Legal Environments"

Check this piece on BBC Future where I talk a bit about how large-scale experiments, like AmazonFACE, can transport forests into the future, so we can capture a glimpse (before it's too late) of what would happen with climate change www.bbc.com/future/artic...

What Is the Future of Plant Biology Teaching? https://botany.fyi/pjrh4b Plant Biology Educators got together in Lancaster at the start of the month to discuss what’s going wrong and what’s going right in plant biology education. They found a lot of both. #Botany #PlantSciEd 🧪 #Education

Keeping with the #symbiosky green alga from yesterday, this amazing video shows where each little algal cell is (green dots) inside a salamander embryo. The only vertebrate-alga endosymbiosis. We are still trying to understand the interaction. Light sheet microscopy. #protistaday #protistsonsky

🧵Reflecting on ways to increase diversity and representation in science teaching, some time ago, I decided that whenever I teach a topic, I will look for diverse scientists who contributed to it (women, LGBTQIA+, minorities, racialized people, etc). Representation matters! 1/9

Really valuable discussions at our #PlantSciEd meeting - we did a SWOT analysis of current plant biology education this morning, and are now heading into a great afternoon of talks. Do you agree with our analysis - what have we missed?! #PlantSci

Someone put this article in our coffee room - inspiring and very true! Big group meetings often reach a sort of average consensus influenced by the ones who talk louder, while discussions with 1 or 2 peers tend to be much more creative www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I was today years old when I found out that you can store seeds in liquid nitrogen for two years and they will still germinate. Yet another reason why plants are so cool! 🌱 Thank you @vgeshkovski.bsky.social for indulging in my weird science questions
