The fun's not over yet at #ESA2025! Come visit posters by amazing student researchers from the University of Pittsburgh on large-course-based research on "city steps" biodiversity and seed longevity of Herbarium specimens! @olivesamsel.bsky.social @athalya-j.bsky.social @iriskeister.bsky.social 🧵

From specimen to pod to seed!
Seeds of shepherd’s purse have been observed to trap and kill nematodes. Some of the seeds I found had sticky goop around it. Unexpected carnivore!

Late to the party, but finally making my way over here in prep for #ESA2025 networking! Hoping to re-connect with friends from the former science twitter and get back to seeing cool science and pedagogy content!
