Not all plants are weeds. Not all introduced species are invasive. And even the so called 'notorious' invasives support native wildlife in the ecologically disturbed habitats of our great cities.

Dandelion, refracted. I like this one because it shows an 'old' flower that almost appears to be dreaming of younger days, with the full-bloom flower refracted through the water droplet. I think it might be one of my favorite photos I've ever taken. (though still some technical aspects I'd like to improve upon...)

I'm going to try to make a thing, in an effort to more regularly post something interesting about . For the inaugural thread, I'm going to discuss one of my favorite areas of research that I and my students have been working on for ~10 years: shade avoidance.

Great discussion this morning at the annual meeting of the "Arable Weeds and Management in Europe" database. It's lovely to see a group of weed researchers engaged in data sharing and finding new ways to make their survey data more findable and usable by others.

If you don't know about AWME there's some more info here:

We'd love for more people to get involved

I study weeds! I'm a professor of , mostly working in small-ish acreage crops like sugar beet and dry edible beans. My research interests include how plants interact with each other, and evaluating the impacts of weed management practices (like herbicide use). I'm an avid user.

I enjoy , especially landscapes and . I spend a lot of my work time AND my free time looking at plants. I've been told I swear a lot.

I'm currently running some simulations to explore how effective systems from one part of Europe might translate into different elsewhere
