I sometimes see a big hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) and I sometimes see a big hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana). But I rarely see them side-by-side. That Ostrya is especially chonk! #thicktrunkthursday #Betulaceae #iamabotanist

Okay, gang. Are we ready for a little #PlantsGiving action? A social media tradition since 2018: counting & reporting out the number of plant species consumed during your Thursday dinner. Here, *Sky*, IG, FB, wherever works. #iamabotanist #bisonflowers

Excited to join this incredible group of plant scientists as #PlantaeFellows2025! 🙌🏽Together, we'll share our passion, expertise, and dedication to growing the global #plantscience community 🌎👩🏽‍🔬🌱Plantae ASPB #SciComm

Shoutout Mark Haussmann for letting our Field Botany class survey tree/shrub recruitment in his backyard: an oak-hickory forest infested by spongy moth (Lymantria dispar). Second pic shows spongy moth egg casings on the bark of a chestnut oak. #BisonFlowers Chris Martine | Plants are Cool, Too!

Wow, ⁦Netflix⁩ throwing some shade at us botanists. At least the dads among us. 🤣 #iamabotanist

This charcuterie appetizer spread + a couple drinks has our #plantsgiving species count currently at 45.

With this cuppa we reached 62 species and 29 plant families in our 2024 #Plantsgiving count. Fin.

When dog walks with Dad turn into what I’ve learned in Field Botany! Found lots of CT’s state flower, the Mountain-Laurel, as well as Xmas Fern! #Kalmialatifolia #Polystichumacrostichoides Chris Martine | Plants are Cool, Too! #BisonFlowers

After a semester of collecting plants, it was super rewarding to mount specimens for the Wayne E. Manning herbarium at Bucknell University!!! #BisonFlowers Chris Martine | Plants are Cool, Too!

Great final trip in Field Botany to Dries Orchards! Got an inside scoop about all things apples — how they are grown, harvested, sorted, packaged, or processed into cider! And also discussed challenges with harvests due to disease and climate change. #BisonFlowers Chris Martine | Plants are Cool, Too!

Last Field Botany trip of the semester: Dries Orchards, where we learned about how apples are grown, harvested, processed, and sold... and turned into both sweet and hard cider. #bisonflowers #iamabotanist

Wrapped my section of BIOL 201: Bio Inquiries & Observations w/ a focus on history of species "discovery" helped along by Richard Conniff's excellent #SpeciesSeekers book. 15/16 students finishing their 1st semester at #Bucknell, although a bunch still have a Chem exam tonight.

Excited to have this in my hands! 3rd edition of #Shrubs & Vines of NJ and the Mid-Atlantic States, field guide that Rachel and I first did in '01 - now back in print after a year of text revision, artwork rescanning, and re-creation of the layout. #botany nj.gov/dep/parksandfo…

#SICB2025 Bluesky migration appears to be somewhat incomplete ... but I'll be over there with that gang. And in Atlanta IRL for some #SICBplants action. @martinebotany.bsky.social

A recent study co-authored by #Bucknell Biology Professor Chris Martine reveals how the Martu Aboriginal people's traditional practices, like controlled burning and seed gathering, help native plants thrive in Australia’s deserts. Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/3F4MkB4.
