Let’s Botanize is promoting the hobby of botanizing by sharing a passion and curiosity for plants. In their new book, co-founders Jacob S Suissa and Ben Goulet-Scott aim to provide an entry point into botanizing through a collection of 101 prompts that implore careful observation of plants. Come learn about their philosophy of the accessible and under-appreciated natural history hobby of botanizing.
Ben Goulet-Scott, Ph.D. and Jacob S. Suissa, Ph.D., are the co-founders 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 events, presenting hands-on seminars and lectures, and on social media @letsbotanize.
