We recently described flower heliotropism in the white trillium and demonstrated that it provides increased fitness in this species. This study led by former undergrad student Maryane Gradito is currently in press in Botany: doi.org/10.1139/cjb-2021-020… 🧵 1/7

I am seeing a lot of news in the press (at least in Spain) saying that botanists "have decided to get rid of all offensive names on plants". As always some media do not contrast and misinform, this is what has happened. 👇🏻

C'est décourageant! Je ne peux pas croire que l'on assiste passivement à un tel saccage environnemental. Je comprends que le contexte est complexe, mais on ne peut pas rester les bras croisés. Ce qui se passe est honteux! 🤬 lapresse.ca/affaires/2024-07…

Ça en dit long sur l’importance de l’environnement dans notre société.
Northvolt: «S’il y a un intérêt public à la protection de l’environnement, il y a également un intérêt public à protéger la sécurité juridique des activités autorisées par l’administration publique», écrit le juge David R. Collier dans son jugement.
