Excited to work with film-maker O’Molemo Thamae creating a film featuring string from the Botany collections @Museum_Cardiff. The sisal hemp string was manufactured in the 1920s in the oppressive Barberton Prison in South Africa #BotanicMonday #decolonisation
Botany collections at museums are made up of a great range of things relating to plants, algae and fungi. For a behind the scenes tour, curators @8thtree and @heather_pardoe used models, illustrations, plant products, freeze-dried and pressed specimens. #botany
Interested in Botany? We are seeking a temporary Research Assistant @Museum_Cardiff, for an exciting project focussed on digitising our Asian plant specimens and community engagement: museum.wales/media/53755/16…
The plant fossil record provides clear evidence of the dynamic history of vegetation through geological times, including the effects of major processes such as climate changes and mass extinctions. Quote from the new #palaeobotany paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #FossilFriday
This is your reminder that Boris Johnson did not chair the first five meetings of COBRA in February and March 2020 but somehow managed to find the time to write a biography of Shakespeare. #ToryCovidCatastrophe

The use of a miswak - a twig from the plant Salvadora persica - for tooth hygiene is an essential element of religious ablutions for many Muslims. Miswak has been shown to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. (from 'Plants of the coast of Coromandel', 1795) #wudu #medicinalplants

I learned so much about the culture, history and health benefits of behind herbs and spices, since this project I have developed a delightful habit of adding Turmeric to my meals & using spices as medicine more work should be done to capture & preserve this wonderful knowledge
I co-authored this paper during (and after) my role as Project Manager of Decolonising Collections, it’s great to see the paper has been published finally. It was such a delight to work with our local communities, it was the best part of the job!

We couldn't resist posting one more picture of Holly - Ilex aquifolium. This popular winter plant is one of the few native evergreen trees of Britain and is associated with many myths. In Celtic tradition, it is associated with peace and goodwill. #holly #botanicalillustration
You might like to decorate your Christmas table with a Christmas rose (Helleborus niger) or festive favourite Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) - both are in flower at this time of year. Our table includes specimens from the herbarium @Museum_Cardiff #MuseumAdvent
Native to Central America, the poinsettia’s common name stems from that of the first US Minister to Mexico, Joel Roberts Poinsett, who introduced the plant to the US, his home nation. This beauty is from Maund & Henslow’s ‘The Botanist’. Season’s Greetings! #Christmas #Yule

With its star-shaped bloom and golden stamen, it is easy to see why Helleborus niger is sometimes known as the 'Christmas Rose.' Our Library, Illustrations, and Archives teams wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! #Hellebore #botanicalillustration #illustration #botany
