Spent the week 1 of my sabbatical in the Tetons.

The Herbarium Handbook - completely updated and revised. Now available for pre-order (though we've made the cover a bit brighter!) amzn.eu/d/guCVebM #Amazon via @Amazon Kew Science @Nina_Davies7 Clare Drinkell

New email signature and auto-reply are both set up :)

Spend some time off the grid in the High Sierras last week. It was much needed.

New pre-print from graduate student Alex Crum: Traditional medicinal use is linked with apparency, not specialized metabolite profiles in the order Caryophyllales. Feedback is welcome! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
