Absolutely relatable to me as a non-native English speaking scientist. Easy to forget just how much extra energy is required to translate my thoughts to high-level academic English every working day!

So happy to meet international alien plant colleagues at EMAPI 2023 in beautiful Pucón, Chile! Lots of interesting science discussions next to the active volcano Villarica 🌋

How much nature is lost in Norway – the world’s poster child for sustainable development? More than you think. I got shivers when mapping nature loss for this excellent NRK article. Google-translated article: tinyurl.com/3f3d339z Thread about the main findings and methods…

Yes! This is a sedge too! Microdracoides squamosus, a shrubby Cyperaceae member from W Africa. Its elongated caudex made of compacted leaf sheaths resembles those of Velloziaceae. Here a specimen at BR herbarium from @BGM_coll_res

Progress workshop with the Arctic Greening team at ETH - lots of fantastic soil, microbio and plant data from Svalbard and experiments to discuss! Will alien plants soon establish more in undisturbed tundra...? 👽🌱

NEW in nature: Three NYBG scientists joined colleagues at @KewScience and from around the world to create the largest-ever DNA tree of life for flowering plants—sequencing more than 9,500 species! Learn more about this open-access resource. #NYBGScience brnw.ch/21wJ96o

I fully agree. Researchers need #time to #think. Good ideas do not come when one is stressed out and overwhelmed by work. We, researchers, have to slow down our pace of doing science. #academiclife
