ALT In his opening remarks, Professor Shitij Kapur, FMedSci, Vice-Chancellor & President of King’s College London and internationally renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist, told this year’s honourees: “As pioneers in your fields – your voices count. And in your own way, taking your own steps, as King’s graduate Bishop Desmond Tutu says, 'you can change the world.' And that is what we will hear about tonight – how your science is changing the world.”

Another week, another #sDiv workshop @idiv (hybrid, mixed in person and online). This time, we have #sCom here to meld ‘big’ community data streams (i.e., eDNA) with jSDMs and related tools. Co-led by @florianhartig and @insectsoup. I have a LOT to learn!

Just uploaded my talk ready for the #FSBI2024 symposium in Bilbao next week! A leisurely 5 hours before the deadline, as well! I am looking forward to being immersed in omics, fish and Bilbao for a week, with what has to be one of the warmest conference crowds around.
