Welcome to BOTANY WITHOUT BORDERS! - BSA Member's BOTANICAL video clips
The response tothe 2009 "Botany without Borders" was so good, and
turned out to be such an easy way to highlight the Botanical
Sciences, that it has prompted us to add video clips from
BSA members around the world to uour web site. We also use videos to share poster presentations and featured talks from our Botany Conferences each summer. Ask about sharing your favorite botanical
video clip online through www.Botany.org- videos@botany.org!
Enjoy!
Speaking of food
Dr. Elizabeth Kellogg
Botany 2012 Address of the BSA President-Elect
Our research and scientific societies tend to reflect the 19th century division of botany into applied (agricultural) botany vs. plant physiology and “botany proper” (classification). One of the great challenges of the coming decades will be feeding the world population, and in this situation the 19th century division of the field may not serve us well. The world’s population stands at 7 billion today and will reach about 9 billion by mid-century; this raises an immediate problem of resources of all sorts, but particularly food. There is a temptation while doing basic research to focus on the immediate scientific problem and just hope that others will make the connection to applied disciplines as appropriate; however, the person doing the research is often the one best placed to make those connections. Dr. Kellogg suggests that an important goal for botanical research is to seek out points of intersection between basic studies on diverse plants and applied studies on major crops. Such intersections are not hard to find and will be increasingly important in the coming decades. Botany 2012 Abstract
Plants are cool too!
Hosted by Dr. Chris Martine, featuring Dr. Maggie Koopman
Plants Are Cool Too! "The Pale Pitcher Plant" (Video 1) exploring the habitat, life cycle, morphology and ecosystem of Sarracenia alata, a species of carnivorous pitcher plant. Hosted by Dr. Chris Martine and featuring Dr. Maggie Koopman (Botanical Society of America members and professor of biology at SUNY Plattsburgh and Eastern Michigan University, respectively).
SUNY Plattsburgh and the Botanical Society of America are co-sponsors.
We are pleased to present BSA President, Dr. Karl Niklas'
inaugural address and gift to all plant societies, the multi-media
event, "Botany without Borders."
The short clip (10 minutes) outlines the importance of plants and those who study them. It explores the magic and wonders
plants represent and the people who unlock their secrets.
