In a #SABER2020 long talk, @cissyballen and @mtn_ash show the lack of representation of POC, and especially women of color, in introductory biology textbooks. Not one black woman scientist's work cited! #RepresentationMatters

Happy #DarwinDay! Biology professor @JasonRWiles says, “Darwin Day celebrates many thousands of scientists who have built our understanding of evolution in the 161 years since Origin of Species.” (1/2)

So good to see my paternity data come to life!! This helps us see the variance in reproductive success. Thanks @FriedmanJannice for this!
I am ridiculously pleased with this animated figure I made in R of @aaatiyaa's paternity data in experimental ragweed field, showing where pollen from a given plant ends up siring seed. You can visualize the variance in reproductive success and the dispersal kernel (wind poll.)

Plant blindness is reduced and botanical literacy goes up over a botany class, though students fail to connect humans to plant related SSI @KathrynP9210 #NARST2019 #fightplantblindness
