Meet our team! 👋

Our #Biodiversity #Genomics #Europe All Hands Meeting in Barcelona was a big success! We look forward to our collaboration in the years to come. Specials thanks to our host Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE)!

Thank you all and until next time! 🧬

Looking forward to attend the reunion of global DNA barcoding community. Next year in Brazil!

Today is DAY2 of #BGE ’s All Hands Meeting in sunny Barcelona!

We started with two interesting breakouts on both European Reference Genome Atlas and BIOSCANEurope. This day will be full of pillar-level breakout sessions and a plenary summary session.

📢The Bulgarian #BarcodeOfLife (BgBOL) was recently established and is the latest national node to join the iBOL Consortium. The aim of #BgBOL is to support #biodiversity conservation and #DNA #barcoding #research in #Bulgaria . Congratulations!👏

🇧🇬The Bulgarian #BarcodeOfLife is taking shape with its own logo!
😊At #Pensoft , we are honoured to have our founder & CEO Prof Lyubomir Penev appointed as Chair of the Governing Board.

Kamogelo Langa came third for her MSc presentation titled: A survey of MCMV and MLND-associated potyviruses in the northern provinces of South Africa.

Ross came second for his PhD presentation title: Leveraging machine learning to unveil phenological flowering patterns in South African National Botanical Gardens through public databases.

At ACDB lab we don't just Talk the Talk, we Walk the Walk. A huge congratulations to Khanyi, Ross and Kamogelo on their award-winning presentations at the 2023 UJ Botany Symposium. UJ Botany and Plant Biotechnology

What is PCR reaction? We gathered +700 children dressed as nucleotides on the football field and recorded the PCR reaction with a drone!! You will see the results on YouTube in a few hours!! Great pleasure to be a part of BioBank UniLodz initiative!

Upscaling: possible, needed & done. Paul Hebert showed iBOL Consortium now does 3M barcodes p yr Meta-barcoding: Ind. labs analyse 1000s of samples p yr.
Standardisation: Lots of national activities, we need now 🌏 umbrella; meeting tmrrw.
Recording: 👎🏻 (let’s chat)

The International Barcode of Life iBOL Consortium promises to organise all life on Earth according to 'barcodes' of #DNA , organising the planet's #biodiversity , telling us where species are and even how many can be found in specific locations. #GEOBONconf2023

Inspired by Wade Davis at the #GEOBONconf2023

'Leave no species behind', that was esteemed ecologist E.O. Wilson's vision for society.

Today EOWilson Foundation President Paula J. Ehrlich opens #HalfEarthDay at #GEOBONconf2023

EOWilson Foundation Dolphin Project Racing Extinction “We’re living in this dystopian landscape and we’re getting increasingly accustomed to it.”

🔴 Live now: #HalfEarthDay panel on forest fires and their effects on #biodiversity , people and health with Luke Kelly Eliot McIntire & Sam Hunter

#GEOBONconf2023

Great keynote by Paul Hebert on #Biodiversity - Species, like chemical elements, interact & form complex higher level interactions. Next #eDNA standardisation session kicks off with Donald Baird #GEOBONconf2023
