Encountered a tiny fragment of old woodland on the north Cornish coast, just 5 or 6 trees, and one of them plastered in this indicator of #temperaterainforest : tree lungwort! Very sensitive to air pollution & most usually found in west Scotland, it was a real gem to find!

#introduction Heyyy everybody the name’s Esker and I’m your friendly neighborhood transsexual cripqueer. I had a mastodon for a bit back in 2020, and I figured I’d give it another try while indulging my morbid (tumblr user) desire to see how tw*tter users acclimate to a self-curated environment. I’d also love to find fellow #disabled people and others who still take the pandemic seriously

I try my best to maintain an accessible environment and I’ll probably toot about these things:

I’ve also currently got a love for Jane Austen and various other pieces of media. I adore ceramics and fiber arts, especially embroidery/cross stitching. Anything related to the brain is my jam; I’m hoping to establish a career in neuroscience eventually

#introduction
The International Association for Lichenology (IAL) is a worldwide union of scientists and others interested in theoretical and practical studies of #lichens: its composition and structure, history, classification, distribution, #ecology, dynamics, management and uses in the landscape. The main goals of the IAL are to facilitate personal contacts among lichenologists all over the world and to promote research in all aspects of #lichenology and its applications.
