The longer you look at moss, the more incredible it gets. Here's a closer look at Slender Cruet-moss (Tetraplodon mnioides).

Feeling grateful for having joined #ISCB2025 in Pontevedra, sharing our research on Breutelia chrysocoma, discovering the inspiring work of fellow cryptogamists, and reconnecting with the community. Events like this remind me why I chose science.

After a half-year break for health reasons, I'm thrilled to be back in the world of botany at the XXIV International Symposium of Cryptogamic Botany in Pontevedra, surrounded by such a vibrant and inspiring group of colleagues and friends. Cryptogamic botany is livelier than ever!

Cannot emphasize enough that, if you dislike doing the things academics do (reading, writing, developing and expressing opinions about things you've read) enough to try to make a chatbot do them for you, there are lots of actual humans who would be happy to take that unpleasant job off your hands

Josh Shepperd @joshshepperd.bsky.social · Jul 1

Got gossip from a managing editor pal of a journal that a few reviewers used ChatGPT to write their assessments for them, and didn't even conceal it. I'll say it again - it won't be the neoliberal administrators that take down the humanities. It'll be humanities professors who've stopped reading.

Wu et al. use #phylogenomics to shed light on the complex evolutionary history of the #gymnosperm genus Cupressus, which shows East Asian–Tethyan disjunction.

Check out how an ancient hybridisation event between sections of Helianthemum helped us explain widely disjunct distributions and puzzling phylogenetic incongruences!

I'm grateful for having presented this work at the enriching V SEBOT Symposium ✨ @vsebot.bsky.social @sebot.bsky.social
