Just visited a super sweet endangered species public mural project in Grand Rapids. Each species done by a local artist and there's a QR code for local range maps and conversation actions on the placards. www.pleasantpeninsula.org/2025-species

Dr. Carlsen is working on a project that will provide the first comprehensive characterization of floral scent diversity and variation across the genus Anthurium. The discovery of new chemical compounds in Anthurium scents could potentially lead to innovation in the perfume industry.

The live collections @mobotgarden.bsky.social offer myriad opportunities to learn more about plants. Dr. Mónica Carlsen shared her botanical scent research in #SmellingTheBouquet @mobotmuseum.bsky.social. She conducted headspace/scent trapping to gather data about the variety of tropical plants.
