Plant Science in the Public Eye: A Social Media Approach to Botanical Research

Join us for an expedition into Selby researcher John Clark’s work as both a field botanist and social media “plantfluencer”. Discover the importance of social media, collections-based research, and the critical role of herbaria in contemporary biodiversity research.
This engaging and video-rich lecture is the keynote presentation John delivered as an invited speaker at this year’s XIII Latin American Botanical Congress (Congreso Latinoamericano de Botánica) in Cuba. The Latin American Botanical Congress meets only once every six years; John’s selection as a keynote speaker is a significant honor.
This presentation is free with admission to the Gardens, but pre-registration is required.
