I feel this too. Twitter made the #Botany2020 community approachable across career stages even as a tech. When I finally made it to #Botany2025, those virtual connections are what stood out the most as I met people in person.
Bluesky is great but doesn't have the same casual chatter.

@martinebotany.bsky.social Thinking of you today. I was trying to explain all the great interactions I had during #Botany2020 to a group of students at #ESAus2024 and #CoffeePotRamen was the first example that came to mind of the camaraderie the botany community fostered.

I’m giving a talk tomorrow (well, it’s recorded) #Botany2020 on our global analysis of land plant biodiversity & the commoness of rarity. Hint - a large fraction of species rare but are they really rare? where on Earth are they? & why so many? what will happen w/ climate...
