I finally get to share our new review paper! Kirsten Fisher and I were honored to write the @IJPSJournal 2024 Coulter Review on all that’s unique and interesting about reproduction in gametophyte-dominant plants. (1/5) journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10…

This viral tweet and accompanying video is a textbook example of how racists distort and manipulate media to incite pile-ons.
Their target seems to be a lovely young woman but she isn't white and that's all the excuse these racists need.
Here's the truth behind the video: /1

We are so excited to present the "Handbook of Lichenology", an illustrated guide designed to aid in the identification of lichen traits, with user-friendly descriptions, labelled illustrations, and high-resolution photographs.

We hope this will serve as both an overview of bryo repro and as a springboard for research. If you teach bio, consider boosting your bryo content where applicable. If you are interested in any of these topics, consider that bryos might be good models for your questions. (4/5)
Also! I drew this life cycle, inspired by @Jin_cyliao ‘s adorable Araby character and life cycle diagram. Introducing: Physcy! (5/5)

If you think that #bryology and #mycology are niche (they shouldn't be), imagine people work of #fungi that live on/in bryophytes.
I remember a talk by Peter Doebbeler in Munich about the astonishing #diversity of microfungi in byrophytes.
A pair of young apothecia of the bryophilous fungus Pithyella chalaudii on the liverwort Frullania dilatata, a seemingly common but under-recorded species in Europe and North America (on other hosts). Nice to capture the hairy margins of these ones.

It's so fun to see UGA alum @gabbrosandstone present on her PhD work! Very interesting work on seed viability and parental gene expression.
We miss Gabbie but are excited to see her upcoming work from her postdoc with @Dr_Crushworth and @emjosephs
