It's #WorldMentalHealthDay 🌍

#DidYouKnow Healthy ecosystems support healthy minds?

IPBES #NexusAssessment confirms: biodiversity and functioning ecosystems improve mental health. Access to biodiverse environments facilitates recovery from stress, depression & other health-related conditions.🏡🧪
An upward view of a lush forest canopy with tall trees stretching toward the sky. The image shows numerous straight, tall tree trunks with textured bark and vibrant green foliage overhead. The trees appear to be mature hardwoods, creating a dense, natural cathedral-like ceiling of leaves. Text overlaid on the image reads "NATURE HEALS" and "Biodiversity supports mental health" in dark text. A smaller text block from the IPBES Nexus Assessment describes the relationship between nature and health. The IPBES logo appears in the top right corner. The photograph emphasizes the height and density of the forest, with sunlight filtering through the leaves creating a natural green glow throughout the scene.

Taught plant anatomy class about stomata today (they are the coolest). Didn't get to work in any of my puns tho:

What's stomata with you?!
This is a great op-pore-tunity to learn about plant water relations!

Tree inside tree.
I don't know the origin of this photo, I saw it via Forest Machine Magazine. It shows a cut log with internal scarring and heartwood discolouration creating the shape of a tree within the trunk.

#AppsPlantSci is planning a special issue highlighting innovative uses of target-enrichment sequence data, and we're seeking proposals!

More info here: botany.org/home/publica...

Deadline 30 Nov 2025‪‬

@emcassey.bsky.social @erikarmoore11.bsky.social @yannickwoudstra.bsky.social #genomics
The text at the top reads: “APPS Special Issue Call for Papers: Beyond phylogenomics: Innovative applications of target capture data”. The image beneath the title: On the left side of the image is a large circle divided in two halves: the left side of the circle comprises four images of flowers/herbarium specimens and the right side of the circle contains the text “Target Capture.” Five dotted line arrows point from the large circle to five smaller circles on the right. Smaller circles (clockwise from top): (1) “Off Target”, (2) “Biodiversity assessments”, (3) “Population genomics”, (4) “Evo-Devo”, (5) “Species identification”. The text beneath the image reads: “Proposal deadline November 30, 2025”. The Applications in Plant Sciences logo is in the bottom left corner, and a QR code is in the bottom right corner.
