Some of the Nigerian contigent and our Venezuelan sister at the ongoing #Botany2023 in Boise-Idaho. It's been nice meeting new friends and listening to all the great talks from everyone, representing different institutions, from far and near.

Sometimes you meet PIs who seem friendly but their students tell a completely different story. Talk to the students and postdocs. If the PI doesnt want you to - something is off so run to the hills. Always ask lab members about lab culture and environment. Best advice I ever got

Pea hacking ✌🏼
No-one has ever been able to replicate Gregor Mendel's observations of pea plants. They're a little "too perfect", lacking even random statistical noise that would have been expected from small sample sizes. Was it scientific fraud?

Major trans news. I warned, repeatedly, that drag bans would be applied to trans speakers. A trans public speaker was just banned from delivering a reading and speech in the Butte Public Library on LGBTQ history in Montana. They cited the drag ban.
