RIP Balltze (2011–2023). Även kallad Ball Ball och Cheems. Om du inte sett världens mest exponerade shiba inu några hundra gånger allraminst kan du inte ha varit på samma internet som vi andra.

I need to constantly remind myself that I will never be right about anything as long as there is a probability that I am wrong, even if it is infinitesimal.

John Flamsteed was born #OTD in 1646.

His main achievements were the preparation of a 3,000-star catalogue, Catalogus Britannicus, and a star atlas called Atlas Coelestis, both published posthumously. He also made the first recorded observations of Uranus, although he mistakenly catalogued it as a star, and he laid the foundation stone for the Royal Greenwich Observatory. via @wikipedia

Do you care about undescribed biodiversity?

Feel like more and more new plant species are already threatened with extinction?

Need a reminder of why taxonomy continues to play a key role in science?

Check out our new paper, where we show that a whopping 75% of plants described after 2020 are threatened 🌿

If you're describing new species, assume they're threatened and, if poss, assess them straight away!

In mycology’s early days, botanical drawing was, for some women, a calling. Their mushroom renderings were key to establishing this new field.

@PlantTeaching I like the chronological timeline and decentralized aspect of it. I wish more of our community were here.

Thousands of scientists are cutting back on Twitter, seeding angst and uncertainty nature.com/articles/d41586-023

Interesting article about scientists leaving Twitter.

"The most popular alternative social-media site that respondents mentioned opening accounts with was the free, open-source software platform Mastodon."

#introduction Hi, I’m new here, but I’m giving this Mastodon thing a try! I’m an ecologist by training, currently teaching intro bio to undergrads. I’m an #insect enthusiast with particular love for #bees, #wasps and other garden critters. I have a chaotic good #vegetablegarden and plant lots of #nativeplants for the yard critters. I’m also a #twinmom and #vegetarian #cook. Don’t have a #dog yet but I love to see photos of your #dogs. What are you #reading right now?

In fact, every is a kind of growth regulator that, under certain conditions, can lead to plant death.

Is there any list of journalists and reporters that have (active) accounts on the #Mastodon universe? I don't think there's plenty but with all these multiple instances I find it really to locate even those few.

An observation on how #Mastodon is growing 👀

Over the past month, multiple journalists from top outlets have contacted me related to content I’ve shared.

While this was not uncommon on #Twitter when I was active there, it’s relatively new for me in the #fediverse. I suspect this suggests professional news outlets are becoming more comfortable here & posts have increasing impact. Good.
