I’m trying to support Rewaa and her family in Gaza. She lost her mom at the start of this aggression and has since endured unimaginable losses. She has three beautiful children who deserve safety and a chance to live. Please consider helping them survive. ❤️

Call for Historical Photos!! 📷

Do you have old photos of #vegetation scientists taken in the field, during excursions, at #IAVS or working group meetings?

We’re collecting historic images that capture the spirit of our community — from sampling plots to lively conferences.

Palestinian solidarity activists and just demo goers have been saying this since October 2023. Now UN experts say it too.

#Cientificidio
El Radiotelescopio Chino Argentino, en San Juan, iba a ser un instrum único en la región. Está detenido porque las autoridades de ciencia no renuevan el contrato. Y no es porque "no hay plata": lo financia China 👇

A very rewarding roundtable where people at different career stages shared their experiences & reflections on values in ecological practice.
Interesting (though somewhat expected!) to see an overrepresentation of participants from 🇦🇷, despite the conference bringing together folks from 🇨🇱 and 🇺🇾 too.

Flor Yannelli *typo queen* 👽🌱🪁(she/her/ella) @floryannelli.bsky.social · 22h

We look to answers the questions: What are our values? Are these values guiding us in our everyday work? Can they help us deal with the many planetary crises we are facing?

We then also compared these values with those we came about in our Conguillío statement (see QR)

During the round table we organized with Gisela Stolz (Universidad Andrés Bello) and Monica Ortiz (Universidad de Concepción) at #RAE2025 we discussed building an ecological practice grounded in values and responsibilities.

The little I saw from the meeting was so hard to watch. Two different kinds of idiots: one with too much world power who didn't know what elections he was talking about (& probably can't point out Argentina on a map tbh) and the other who went there to humiliate himself (even more).

Donald Trump is giving $20 billion of taxpayer money to Argentina – to help his political ally stay in power and bail out Wall Street hedge funds – while Americans at home can't afford health care or groceries.

Flor Yannelli *typo queen* 👽🌱🪁(she/her/ella) @floryannelli.bsky.social · 1d

It's truly revolting to have to hear Trump speak about our coming elections. He doesn't even seem to know that we are not voting for president, but also admiting publicly that they are meddling with them and other of our interests. Milei of course is more than happy to give away our sovereignty

Of course among the challenges the most mentioned ones were money (described in different ways in the figure: dinero, presupuesto, financiamento), but also communication across researchers, institutions, and disciplines. Most thought that we researchers are doing a good job, but could do better.

It was very nice to share successful (and not so) experiences on the management of invasive plants. One important topic was the development of National Management strategies that can transcend political changes in the country, but also how to tackle species that invade across political borders

Flor Yannelli *typo queen* 👽🌱🪁(she/her/ella) @floryannelli.bsky.social · 1d

We had a very successful discussion table at #RAE2025, on the challenges and opportunities of managing invasive plants (and not only). With representatives from Argentina (Priscila Powell), Chile (Rafael Garcia), and Uruguay (Carolina Toranza). Silvia Ziller also sharing her experience online.
