About this document
This document was produced by Emily J. Rollinson (@ejrollinson on Twitter).
The code generating this document was originally developed by Francois Michonneau (@fmic_ on Twitter) for the 2015 Evolution meeting and can be found here.
I originally adapted this code for the 2015 Ecological Society of America meeting (#ESA100) in Baltimore, MD, and have since reproduced it for a series of ESA and Botany meetings. I also modified it in 2020 to use the rtweet package instead of twitteR to aggregate tweets, updated the code used to generate the wordcloud, and modified the formatting of the plots.
Tweets using the hashtag #Botany2020 were aggregated from Twitter using the R package rtweet and the Twitter API. The summary statistics are static as of 8:00 AM EDT Aug 01 2020 (additional tweets, retweets, and likes after that point are not included).
This document was generated using RMarkdown, and the source is available on GitHub.

As #Botany2020 ends, I’m also officially retired from my position as student rep of @Botanical_. It’s been a pleasure to serve the #Iamabotanist community for 2 years & I got so much support from many people. Here’s my Thank You dance performed by me in a forest with some fronds. https://t.co/QT3uVeaDQq

Thrilled to have won the Cooley award at #Botany2020. Women in STEM and people doing #cienciacriolla have all the potential but we need opportunities. Thanks to the @AmSocPlantTaxon for supporting my research from the begging with the research award

Missing #Botany2020 this year, but if you are intersted in pursuing a Master’s degree working on plant systematics, phylogenetics, and biogeography, reach out to me. I’m looking for students for fall 2021, come and study in the redwoods @HSUBiology https://t.co/ca03yjvyW2
