As part of SYM12 Improving the quality of taxonomic data publishing and list building at @TDWG #TDWG2023. @RBGE_Science will be presenting on 'A strategy for building @TheWorldFlora plant list' doi.org/10.3897/biss.7.11133… via @BISS_Journal

A Strategy for Building the WFO Plant List

All scientists will face the challenge of explaining what they do to a friend or relative. Fortunately it is easy for us to explain our work. We are building a list of all known plants. Unfortunately...

One of the many amazing things about #ESA2023 @ESA_org is very high level of data and of data standards awareness. Feels totally that @tdwg ‘s cause totally works here. From here, all the world’s ecology will follow. Happy I lived to see this transformation. Goosebumps

In collaboration with @StlArtMuseum's MONET/MITCHELL exhibition, @mobotgarden's water lily expert Derek Lyle has planted a pool just with Latour-Marliac hybrids! Nymphaea 'Fabiola' is a hybrid that was very popular with Monet, and he included it in his garden at Giverny.

👀 💬 New discussion up at github.com/orgs/echinopscis/… We've a fair idea of what we'd need to "seed" a vault for #taxonomic / #floristic work, but we want to also include those in #DigitalHumanities eg researching people in biodiversity data - what would you need as a starting point?

Some trilobite origami for #FossilFriday. 😊 I need your ideas! A squad of squid. A 'blank' of trilobites. Any fun names to call a group of trilobites? 🤔

Had a wonderful time taking visiting speaker Joyce Onyenedum to Abita Flatwood Reserve with the #LagoLab. Good for the ecosystem but a bummer for us, they had just had a prescribed burn. There was great botanizing nonetheless!
