I feel your pain! Sometimes it’s the most novel and creative papers that get the most pushback, in my experience. Solidarity, keep believing in your work, they can’t stop you, it will get out there!!!!

That’s is so cool! Sounds like a very interesting study could be done about this specifically in rhododendron!

“botanic gardens' practices are not only about collecting plants but also related to the production, domination and control of plant- and biodiversity-related knowledge, which serves a critical role in conservation policy and practices”

If, like me, you are wondering about the dates of the coin shown in the photo, today i learned that Nepal doesn’t follow the Gregorian calendar! They follow the Bikram Sambat Calendar, since 57BC.
Their calendar is based on movements of the sun and the moon, and it is 57 days 8.5 mo ahead
Why Nepali Calendar Different and Ahead by 57 Years: History
Nepali Calendar is known as Bikram Sambat, officially adopted by Nepal Government, 57 years ahead and has a different history from the rest of the world.

This is a much needed perspective! I’m just stopping by the comments section to shout out the lovely ways diversity is depicted in the “acknowledgment” folks shown in the figure 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
