Today participant Tanja & @schilthuizen were on @SpijkersBNNVARA (live news and satire show on Dutch national radio) to talk about the endangered Komarnica gorge in Montenegro and our citizen science expeditions to map its biodiversity. Join us next year! nporadio2.nl/fragmenten/spi…

Happening today! #Amsterdam 🇳🇱🍄 cloudamsterdam.com/fundamental-fu…

I am giving a lecture in Amsterdam on November 18th about The Forgotten Kingdom. It'll be an exploration of understudied #fungi and their importance for conservation. Looking forward! cloudamsterdam.com/fundamental-fu… 🍄🇳🇱

We’re being featured in @KIJKredactie! 🎉 The article is about the race against the clock for cataloging the world’s biodiversity. Our #citizenscience expeditions are one of the way in which this process can be speeded up. Go check it out! #biodiversity #extinction #conservation


We're still developing next year's expeditions program, but our classic three destinations have already been fleshed out. Sign up now at taxonexpeditions.com before we fill up!

A bit of a dream achieved. One day in the Lower Amazon and I have ringed a Hoatzin. These are one of the most primitive birds in the world that is considered as being a step away from the archaeopteryx.

This needs more exposure: thanks to efforts by local historians & @GeorgeBeccaloni, a memorial was unveiled in Dodinga, commemorating the birth of the theory of natural selection by Alfred Russel Wallace. In attendance: Wallace's great grandson Bill Russel Wallace.

Onwaarschijnlijk mooie beestjes.

Elk jaar hebben we Rozemarijngoudhaantjes in de tuin, meestal in de lavendel. Dit jaar alleen in het voorjaar gezien. En gisteren zat er een op de muur van ons huis. Na de fotosessie toch maar weer in de lavendel gezet…. @JanWieringa @EISinsecten @TaxonExped @AglaiaBouma

A reminder that proteins are highly dynamic molecules. ◼ We have made progress in measuring & predicting static protein structures, but the dynamics that animate life remain challenging to measure & model.
