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 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. In 2021, I updated the code to embed top tweets using tweetrmd.
Tweets using the hashtag #Botany2021 were aggregated from Twitter using the R package rtweet and the Twitter API. The summary statistics are static as of 09:00 AM EDT 7/24/2021 (additional tweets, retweets, and likes after that point are not included in the summary, although embedded tweets are “live” and up-to-date).
This document was generated using RMarkdown, and the source is available on GitHub.

Hi. When we say things like "first described" or "first collected" what we usually mean is "by white colonizers." By not acknowledging that, we erase indigenous knowledge. #decolonizeSTEM #botany2021
