If we want to ensure Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Biodiversity Genomics, what actions should we take personally/as institutions to guarantee it? This is the topic of our second JEDI Fora (Oct 1, 3pm BST) at #BG2021 Here are some of our amazing panelists @SangerToL

EBP Chair Harris Lewin shares that the EBP is in full swing. The open, diverse & inclusive organizational structure has generated tremendous enthusiasm from project participants, who are driving together toward the common goal of sequencing all known eukaryotic species in 10 yrs

New episode out today featuring Beth Shapiro all about how the new tools of #Genetics might help avery #extinction (and if that's a good idea). genanthro.com/2021/11/17/we-…

Do the phrases ‘genetic modification’ and ‘synthetic biology’ make you think of a future to embrace or avoid? Beth Shapiro (Beth Shapiro) will explore how new technologies promise potential for altering nature in the future. Book now (livestream): bit.ly/Ri_Life_as_we_…

You found a WHAT, WHERE?? 🌊🐘 NYT Science reveals our discovery of an ancient MAMMOTH tusk, 3km deep atop a seamount 300km offshore. Think of this as a trailer for the actual research. Some superstar collaborators: mbari.org/mammoth-tusk-d… Article: nytimes.com/2021/11/22/sci…

We're absolutely thrilled that Saima Mir's The Khan, Beth Shapiro's Life as We Made It, and Helen Joyce's Trans are Times and Sunday Times Books of the Year 2021! thetimes.co.uk/article/best-b…
