I love summer, but I can’t wait for less humidity and better hair days.

I’m going to need lots of coffee this week! After a whirlwind wedding last weekend, I jumped straight into this week, which marked the start of Dumbarton Oaks’ plant humanities summer program. For the next four weeks we are welcoming 10 undergrad and graduate students to explore the cultural significance of plants through DO’s rare book collection! • • • • #dumbartonoaks #dcblogger #dcmoments #dccitystyle #momentsofmine #butfirstcoffee #postcardplaces #beautifulmatters #summerstyle #workwear #dc #liketkit (at Flower Child) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbVj07Bgwi/?igshid=1aq7vkvqbvfbz

Words cannot describe how much I’m loving working at @dumbartonoaks. Not only is the campus stunning (I’m surrounded by beautiful blooms like these), I get to do really fun and fascinating research. I’m currently using their Rare Book Collection to reconstruct the history of agave. • • • #phdlife #postdoctoralfellow #dumbartonoaks #PlantHumanities #humanitiesrocks #historylovers #momentsofmine (at Dumbarton Oaks) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByYozLLhB-2/?igshid=1f3ttzrnz8px5

Just spending my days in the most incredible place researching the impact of plants on human history. So far I’ve explored how agaves played a central role in Mesoamerican religion, encouraged a botanical revolution in Europe, shaped Mexican nationalism, and can even help address climate change today. Next up is rubber - a plant that transformed the world in only 100 years! I find that the stunning l’orangerie helps me think 😉 • • • • #planthumanities #agave #dumbartonoaks #phdchic #dumbartonoaks #historylovers #botany #historygram #dcphotography (at Dumbarton Oaks) https://www.instagram.com/p/BylJZ7hBxQ0/?igshid=1qycrqzu4w0v2
