I made a thing. It's a piece of art that explores uncertainty and data gaps in species trends #dataviz #RStats

We've just launched our 3rd citizen science project in collaboration with The AfricaMuseum! We're transcribing the registry of the bird collection, telling the story of the specimens, and the people who've handled them. #CitizenScience Want to help?: doedat.be/project/index/…

Do you want to estimate traits from herbarium specimens without destroying them? Check out our 🌟 new paper 🌟, open access in Methods in Ecology and Evolution! link and 🧵 below 1/

Most studies on sweet potato wild relatives happen on South America species, which is why Paul Kagame's review on the east African Ipomea taxonomy is especially interesting. #AMPEE6

👍Right on time for next week's #TDWG2022, a Methods paper in BDJournal: doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.10…, resulting from a wonderful global collaboration, is to "aspire to disambiguate all person names across the entirety of the #biological sciences, starting w/ #collections." 1/2

Come work with us! @AriseBiodivers1 is building an infrastructure that will identify and monitor all multicellular species in the Netherlands. #Biodiversity #FAIRdata

🗨️"A future – once thought to be a dream – where the complete scientific output of a person is connected as #LinkedOpenData is now," writes the team in a Guest blog post about their recent paper on disambiguation of people names in #collections blog.pensoft.net/2022/10/14/who… 🔗#TDWG2022

Q during @pavrlstoev's keynote at #TDWG2022: How to increase the taxonomic expertise in Bulgaria: it starts in the curricula of universities. But also uplifting citizen scientist and engaging interested people of all ages. Strengthen communities and encourage collaboration

Watching a fabulous keynote presentation on taxonomy for non taxonomists by Richard Pyle at #TDWG2022

How do we best share invasive species *management information*? 🐀🪤 @lienreyserhove presents a data format developed under LIFE RIPARIAS at #TDWG2022

I know it is hard to adapt systems. But when we can connect the improvements to data & knowledge to the people who MADE those improvements, we can show the VALUE of those contributions. To connect people, we need their unique identifiers & we need to use them. #TDWG2022

The talks on GRSciColl (GBIF @biodiversity.social/@gbif @idigbio @CatDigsBio) have really illustrated #OpenByDesign in our first session in day 4 of #TDWG2022. ... for an overview of #OpenByDefault / #OpenByDesign check out gitlab's excellent article: about.gitlab.com/handbook/marke…

Sub-Saharan Africa is poorly represented in GBIF @biodiversity.social/@gbif. Mohammed Kamaldeen Fuseini (and this African butterfly) encourage all to contribute to iNaturalist & join Wiki Mentor Africa so Wikipedia stubs can be created/expanded for missing species. #TDWG2022 wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:… cc Andra Waagmeester @[email protected]

Hands-on 🐝🦋🪲 #Digitalisierung im @mfnberlin: erst #Metadaten, dann raus aus dem Kasten, ab aufs Laufband, Fotos rundum, rein in den Kasten. Wichtig bei den teils sehr alten Tieren: Fingerspitzengefühl!
