The English Oak (Quercus robur) supports an astonishing 2300 species, of which 326 depend on it for survival. 716 lichens, 108 fungi, 1178 invertebrates, owls, bats, wood warblers, butterflies... I hold in my hand not a single tree, but a community-to-be, a world-in-waiting.

Great article this month for our STEM ed journal group on creating inclusive classes. Randomly calling on students to share in front of a class creates inequities for students with anxiety. Love the useful alternative suggestions at the end. https://t.co/neklFcbNEg
