The Best Scientists 🧵
I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑🔬
Maybe the best scientists...
make impactful discoveries,
publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆
And everybody respects them.

Happy to see this volume out! We bring a comprehensive collection of reviews and original articles on the drivers of the exceptionally diverse Neotropical flora. Thank you to all the authors who contributed to making this the largest issue @BotJLinnSoc and to the team of editors
At nearly 500 pp, "Drivers of Neotropical Diversity" is the largest issue @BotJLinnSoc (Vol 199 part 1) to date. Editorial, five reviews and 20 original papers. #BotJLinnSoc200 academic.oup.com/botlinnean/…
Congrats to the PLENTBio team - all co-authors and other members. 🌴🍀🌱🌿🎋🍃🌷

Evolutionary lability in floral ontogeny affects #pollination biology in Trimezieae (new #AJB research by Juliana Lovo, Suzana Alcantara, Thais Vasconcelos, Maria das Graças Sajo, Paula Rudall et al) bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.… #botany #evolution @wileyplantsci @Darwin2009 @plentbio
R.I.P. Prof. Dr. Renato Mello-Silva, one of the best taxonomists in the world, a huge loss to the Brazilian Botany and a fundamental part of our team. The taxonomic nightmare of Velloziaceae is less scary after you, for sure. #IamBotanist #Vellozia #Barbacenia #camporupestre

Five years in the making! Super excited to see our first Paleo-eFLOWER paper out! We hope our updated floral trait dataset and 'phyloscan' approach will be useful to explore potential relationships of fossil flowers.
OA paper, open dataset, and open source R code.

Just found @DecoloniseUEA have created an entire Zotero library, broken down by discipline, of resources on decolonising the curriculum. This is INCREDIBLE. zotero.org/groups/2282515/de…

Susan Alcantara emphasising threats to the highly endemic campo rupestre flora from mining, but also from plantation forests, which are maintained by the horrific practice of modern slavery #Botany2020
#Botany2020 is ended, and it was for sure the best thing in 2020! Thanks for all the great talks, the supportive communities, the inspiring messages & wonderful plants! Bonus track: 1yr to catch up the missed talks! 🌵🌴🌱🌿🌾🍃🍁🌳🌺🌼🌸🌻
@plentbio will be there! Check @TNCVasconcelos & Suzana’s talks
On the last day of #Botany2020, check out the colloquium on Plant Life in Neotropical Outcrops at 10 am EDT organized by twitterless Maria de Souza Cortez, @TNCVasconcelos and me!
Can’t wait for this colloquium! #Botany2020

First experience with online meeting #botany2020:
Cons: not travelling, crazy daily routine between job/motherhood demands.
Pros: be able to reach most contributions afterhours and with a 4yrs old at her bed! (Let me grab a glass of wine & I’m sold!)

Such a powerful message from Bryan Dewsbury #Botany2020 - teaching is about students not the subject matter - people matter; and we learn from our students...

What will it take for us to stop rewarding abusive mentors?
