We need to talk about #fungi!

Europeans are confused about fungi as #food, with 2 in 3 survey respondents not knowing what #mycoprotein is, and almost half thinking that #mushrooms are plants

Is there something analogous to #ClintReptiles but for #botany? I want someone to explain me the #plant branch of the tree of life while telling how much they love it, clade by clade.

Edward Smith Deevey Jr. (3 December 1914 – 29 November 1988), born in #AlbanyNewYork, was a prominent American #ecologist and #paleolimnologist, and an early protégé of #GEvelynHutchinson at #YaleUniversity. He was a creative pioneer in several areas, including quantitative #palynology, cycling of natural #isotopes, #biogeochemistry, #populationDynamics, #systematics and #ecology of freshwater #zooplankton, and he promoted the use of life tables in ecology. In 1938.

Notes on ##UAP Discussions : Students and researchers should really by now be fully acquainted with the contemporary work of Dr. #BeatrizVillarroel and her cohort. Students in particular can get a good look at the #systematics and technical requirements for poking and prodding a #dataset and deriving challenge resistent statistics to support or refute the inevitable questions that #Science is required to ask. The course you can’t take yet is in there. It’s spread out all over the place otherwise

Q: What is the least popular part of science?
A: The least popular part of science is often considered to be taxonomy or systematics, which involves classifying organisms. Many find it tedious compared to experimental fields. Public interest also tends to favor flashier disciplines like astronomy.

I fell that at #BlueSky there is more engagement between scientists and other people.

And is not that I don't follow tags about #Biology, #Biogeography, #Systematics, #PlantEcology, #Biogeography or #Taxonomy. I do, but the volume of Linux and programming things overwhelms them.

But is not like I don't like Mastodon. I love it. But is funny that (for me) there is this clearly defined boundary: #Mastodon for computer things, #BlueSky for science things.
