I am seeing a lot of news in the press (at least in Spain) saying that botanists "have decided to get rid of all offensive names on plants". As always some media do not contrast and misinform, this is what has happened. 👇🏻
C'est décourageant!
Je ne peux pas croire que l'on assiste passivement à un tel saccage environnemental. Je comprends que le contexte est complexe, mais on ne peut pas rester les bras croisés.
Ce qui se passe est honteux! 🤬

The Edwards lab (edwardslab.org) is looking for a new post-doctoral research associate to work on the phylogenomics of Montiaceae, a really cool group of plants. Email me a CV and contact info for two references – come join us!
This is an amazing news for research in Canada. Thank you @SupportOurSci and all others that fought so hard for making this happen.

It’s Endometriosis Awareness Month!
I was diagnosed a year and a half ago and had two surgeries within 10 months.
Since sharing my diagnosis, I’ve received dozens of messages asking about my experiences.
Here are some fast facts about this disease:
