Tomorrow, April 25 - War of the Weeds at Rutgers Day!

Come and visit our booth with educational activities on weeds!  Eat food made from weedy plants (wild onion cream cheese crackers, dandelion ice tea and rose hip smoothies), check your weedy plant species knowledge in our new card matching game, and check out the defense and attack systems of these superevolutionary and amazing plants. 

Our table is located between Food Science and the Cook/Douglass Lecture Hall, along the road and we are open 10 AM to 3 PM tomorrow.  It is right next to the giant booksale, which is worth a visit too!

Tweet, tweet, tweed, weed...

We asked our students to come up with come good tweets about what they learned in our Byrne 2014 seminar about weeds, and here is the result!

I've learned that weeds and flowers are no different biologically. 

Weeds are awesome.

Weeds are like onions. Onions have layers. Weeds have layers. They both hve lauers. #weedstho

I definitely have a new appreciation for weeds. Except for that unidentifiable grass. #Istillhavenoideawhatthatwas

Hated for the wrong reasons #weeds

Weeds, the hipsters of the plant world. People don't understand them and want them gone. They're still pretty cool though. 

Nothing about kush. Everything about dandelions #notthatkindofweed

I ate things that I probably stepped on earlier, and liked it! #dandelionicecream #weedsarecool

Weeds are not bad because they taste great on pizza and in every other type of food also it is natural and healthy #weedsforlife #weedsarecool

Thanks students for a great class!
