War Against Weeds: S11 E2 - Toxicology 101 In this episode Alyssa Essman and Sarah Lancaster sit down with Washington State University toxicologist Dr. Allan Felsot for a crash course in Toxicology 101. Dr. Felsot breaks down how the EPA evaluates pesticide safety, explains the difference between hazard and risk, and clarifies common misconceptions about chemical exposure, tolerance, and persistence. The conversation also touches on glyphosate, PFAS-related concerns, and why effective science communication—and early education—matter for helping the public understand pesticide technology.

In this episode, Alyssa Essman and Sarah Lancaster talk with Washington State University toxicologist Dr. Allan Felsot for a Toxicology 101 crash course.

A familiar tree turned up at a shockingly high elevation » Yale Climate Connections An ecologist spotted Jeffrey pines growing far above their usual range in the Sierra Nevada.

Climate change is changing native plants AND weeds. As ecosystems shift, proactive monitoring and adaptive management are more important than ever.

Many #bird species are harmed by #invasiveplants that alter #habitat, reduce food, and disrupt nesting. That’s why #weedscience and #invasiveplantmanagement matter - protecting native plants, insect #foodwebs, and healthy bird habitat. 🦆

Representative grapevine responses to quinclorac. Symptoms photographed in New York included (A) cupping and interveinal chlorosis on actively growing shoots,
(B) leaflet distortion, and (C) strap-leaf formation. Canopy views from Oregon in 2022 show (D) nontreated vines and (E) vines treated three times in 2021 with quinclorac at
0.84 kg ha−1. In all cases, vines remained vigorous, yielded comparably, and displayed no lasting auxinic injury symptoms. Treatments consisted of either two applications
(Timings A þ B: ~90 and ~60 d before harvest) or three applications (Timings A þ B þ C: two in-season plus one post-harvest before frost).

Onlooker shares photo of concerning discovery in US national park: 'This is mind-blowing' A visitor to Yosemite Natural Park shared a photo of tall, stalk-like Mullein plants shooting up from the ground at a campsite, calling them a monstrosity.

An invasive mullein weed spotted in #Yosemite is a reminder of how quickly #invasiveplants can colonize disturbed sites, outcompeting natives & altering ecosystem function.
