Congrats to lab undergrads Brady, Natalie, Caila, Matilda, Victoria, and Maddy for their successful poster presentations! All presented at last week's @OurVt Dennis Dean UG Research Conference.
Spring foliage doesn't get as much attention as the spring flowers but these baby fern fronds are pretty great! These maidenhair (Adiantum pedatum) fiddleheads are a gorgeous reddish-pink and this bulblet bladder fern (Cystopteris bulbifera) has a few little bulblets forming!
SUCH a strong showing from all contestants in the @VT_Biology Bake Your Research competition 🏆
Here's a spring ephemeral update before everyone is focused on the solstice! Lots of great things blooming in the NRV. I spotted columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), wild ginger (Asarum canadense), trout lily (Erythronium americanum), and red trillium (Trillium erectum), and others!
We had our second annual herbarium easter egg hunt yesterday! My student researchers made quick work of finding eggs before our lab meeting.
We had a great visit from Stacey Rosenquist, a VT alum working for DOD, in Plant Taxonomy yesterday! She talked about her work and federal job opportunities for students.
I always love visiting the greenhouse and seeing some treasures. These bird of paradise flowers (Strelitzia) and amaryllis flower (Amaryllis) really wowed me!
Awesome to see @QuaveEthnobot 's op-ed on the importance of herbaria! Definitely worth a read. These plant libraries are key to humanity’s future. Let’s preserve them. wapo.st/4cpWQ28
Safety first--I buckled in the video dissecting scope for a presentation! ;) I used it while talking ferns with the Virginia Native Plant Society NRV chapter last night.
@TorreyBotanical @NHM_Botany @MasseyHerbarium Then he got even shunned by the other US botanists for being a "foreign competitor". Rugel hoped to make long collecting trips across the US but never received replies and became botanically isolated. I think, he'd be happy to see his collections in US herbaria now.
@TorreyBotanical @NHM_Botany @MasseyHerbarium I'm happy to see that the specimens arrived well and are appreciated. Rugel wanted to connect to US botanists (and did initially), but he was bound by contract to send everything to Shuttleworth.
Anyone interested in co-organizing an alcohol-free social or networking event at #Botany2024 with me? I've organized The Botany Scoop alcohol-free social the last 2 years but am happy to change formats. Here's the link with info and last year's event ad: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Thanks @vtnews for the feature! Check out the story for pics and video of our "new" specimens from the 1840s! These plants were collected in the SE USA in the 1840s and just made their way here from the @NHM_Botany. news.vt.edu/content/news_v…
We tasted history in Plant Taxonomy this week! I made tiger nut cake from @TastingHistory1 for our monocot lecture. We tried a tiger nut cake made with yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) from the sedges (Cyperaceae), with date palm syrup (Phoenix dactylifera, Arecaceae)!
We're hiring a new @VT_Biology greenhouse manager! Details and application here: careers.pageuppeople.com/968/cw/en-us/j…
The VT community is invited to attend an engaging, interactive event with rockstar scientist and fierce advocate for diversity and access in STEM, Dr. Jessica Ware. The talk/panel will be on March 22nd, at Steger Conference Center 2-3:30. Please register using QR code on flyer.

what a cool idea!
1/2 I won the Bio Sci dept's inaugural Bake Your Research competition! Our dept's awesome grad students organized the event. My inspiration was our work collecting, ID'ing, and describing the distributions and ecology for Virginia's 3 native cacti, all prickly pears (Opuntia).
Very important day today!! Finally came across a skunk cabbage with an all yellow-green spathe. Always wanted to find these!
I have big news! I've accepted a job as Field Zoologist with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation! I'm super excited to start next month, Richmond here we come!
@TorreyBotanical @NHM_Botany @MasseyHerbarium Then he got even shunned by the other US botanists for being a "foreign competitor". Rugel hoped to make long collecting trips across the US but never received replies and became botanically isolated. I think, he'd be happy to see his collections in US herbaria now.
@TorreyBotanical @NHM_Botany @MasseyHerbarium I'm happy to see that the specimens arrived well and are appreciated. Rugel wanted to connect to US botanists (and did initially), but he was bound by contract to send everything to Shuttleworth.
@MasseyHerbarium @vtnews @NHM_Botany Very nice story. If you have new identifications, could you send them please? For some specimens, I still have duplicates for other herbaria, and I'm happy to add det slips from you and also to chase the material in our collection to check if our's are up to date.
Science is cool…and sometimes hot. #whatsyourscience
1/2 Skunk cabbage is an early spring wildflower--it can actually produce body heat to help melt snow and thrive in the cold! Last week I visited some skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) and used a thermal camera to capture this heat production in action.
Couldn't decide which picture of me and the boyz* I liked best so here's both (*literally, they are mostly in their staminate phase today ♂️)
Check out this story of a rare plant specimen collection reaching Virginia Tech Herbarium from @NHM_Botany (@dr_norb), dating back to the 1840s. Amazing history! #botany (Dr. Jordan Metzgar @MasseyHerbarium serves as Book Editor for our journal, JTBS) news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…

Thanks @vtnews for the feature! Check out the story for pics and video of our "new" specimens from the 1840s! These plants were collected in the SE USA in the 1840s and just made their way here from the @NHM_Botany. news.vt.edu/content/news_v…
@MasseyHerbarium where did you get the Ghanian yams from?
Outreach at its best!
We had our first ever visit from a Latin class! Late Medieval Latin (LAT2134) students from @VT_LiberalArts are translating the Hortulus, a 9th century poem by a German monk about his garden. We had a fun time learning more about the poem's plants by looking at our specimens!
@MasseyHerbarium I'm growing that in Cincinnati along with O. pusilla, fragilis, macrorhiza, and some hybrids. I love my prickly pears!!!
Had some first-day-of-school jitters bringing Plant Taxonomy to a new audience, but this small group of students seems genuinely interested and excited to be there. It's been 5 years since this was taught. Makes me so happy 💚
I am pleased that In the Herbarium has been chosen as one of Scientific American's book recommendations for 2023: scientificamerican.com/article/55-boo… @yalepress @sciam
