Hello!
I am a plant ecologist and an associate professor of biology at ESU, where I teach #ecology, #botany, and #stats #rstats. I post about #plants, #research, and #education.
I work on a variety of topics in plant ecology, with a broad focus on community ecology, plant-insect interactions, and invasive species.

A fantastic (if a tad chilly) seaside walk with this lovely bunch today. A cheeky practice for the BSBU #NewYearPlantHunt. We didn't find too much but it was nice to see Wild Cabbage and some new faces! π±π

#OTD Henry Nicholas Ridley, #English #Botanist, #Geologist, & #Naturalist, is born.

By 1920, #Malaya produced over half the world's rubber.
And to think it all started with #Seeds Henry collected from 22 #Plants...

#OTD Howard Scott Gentry, American #Botanist, is born.
The world's leading authority on #Agaves, Howard went to #Mexico every year to collect #specimens & traveled via #Mule.
The #USDA pursued #Agave & #Wild #Yam #Family to make #Arthritis #Medicine.
Howard once said:
I refused several times to become a desk man for USDA. It was a chance to cut out all the #Travel, but I told them,
"No, not me. I want to work with #Plants, not people. People are problems."
