At 7 p.m. on October 29 TCWP will co-sponsor with the UT Arboretum Society a Zoom program titled “Let’s Botanize,” featuring Ben Goulet-Scott, Ph.D., and Jacob Suissa, Ph.D.  Scott and Suissa are the cofounders and directors of Let’s Botanize, an educational non-profit that promotes the hobby of botanizing by sharing plant stories. Their motto is “A care for plants is a care for the planet.”

Goulet-Scott and Suissa earned their doctorate degrees in evolutionary biology at Harvard University. Goulet-Scott currently designs and manages higher education programming at Harvard Forest, the ecology-focused research station of Harvard University in Massachusetts. Suissa is currently an Assistant Professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Find them teaching at in-person school events, presenting hands-on seminars and lectures, and on social media @letsbotanize.

The program is free, but you will need to register to receive the Zoom link and a video of the program to watch at your convenience. Register at: www.utarboretumsociety.org/programs. For questions or registration issues contact Michelle at mcampani@utk.edu.
