HeartyBeast ( @HeartyBeast@kbin.social ) 6•8 months agoThis seems pretty dismissive of the work that field ecologists and botanists do - and the rigorous nature of their work
meyotch ( @meyotch@slrpnk.net ) English7•8 months agoAgreed, but id rather hang out with the botanists and field ecologists anyway. I chose biology as a major precisely because the biologists were chill. The geologists drank too much and the engineers seemed uncreative. People who love and appreciate biology are my people.
BarrelAgedBoredom ( @BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ) English13•8 months agoIf you’re not already watching crime pays but botany doesn’t on youtube you should start. It’s just 30+ minute videos of a profane botanist from Chicago running around nature and pointing out cool plants and complaining about society
Swallowtail ( @Swallowtail@beehaw.org ) English1•8 months agoI only found him recently but he has really accelerated a path I was already on to becoming more conscious about plants and the role they play in our environment. I’m now in the planning phase of converting about 1.5 acres of lawn into native prairie and starting to manage some woods that I own so they’re more beneficial to wildlife.
