¡Hola Briomaniacos!

El miércoles 26 tendrá lugar el 2º encuentro de Transmitting Bryology (TBryo) a mano de Pere Miquel Mir-Roselló titulado "Briófitos como indicadores: adaptabilidad y limitaciones". En este espacio distendido nos reunimos una vez al mes para debatir, dar charlas y mucho más.

Ayer, día mundial de la educación ambiental realizamos un taller sobre morfología de briófitos y líquenes en el que pudimos disfrutar de una mañana donde le dimos el valor que merecen éstos organismos a los que generalmente no se les presenta tanta atención en la educación ambiental🌱

I have mixed feelings (panic, but also morbid curiosity and fascination) for people like Stephani or Rafinesque. Tropicos cites over 7,400 names with his authority. What a nightmare!
Excerpt from Schuster's liverwort flora vol 1. (...) Systematic work in hepaticology received a lasting shock, in consequence of the publication by Stephani of his six-volume Species Hepaticarum (1898-1924). Although originally a conscientious, if not critical, hepaticologist, Stephani was eventually overwhelmed by the endless stream of exotic material sent to him for study. As a result, the last volumes of his work exhibit so much irresponsibility that a tremendous burden is now thrown on the shoulders of other workers, present and future.

Vincent Hugonnot and Jeannette Chavoutier have just announced that the second volume of "Les Bryophytes de France" (Pleurocarps and Sphagnum) is out. The first volume (liverworts and hornworts) received the Hattori Prize by the International Association of Bryologists. This is a top quality flora

Top 4 misconceptions about science
1. It fills knowledge-gaps (discoveries are unknown unknowns)
2. It proceeds along a straightforward path (discoveries are not predictable)
3. It looks for answers (new questions are crucial)
4. It is only rational (requires night science leaps)

(1/2) En mi TFM descubrimos que Hypopterygium tamarisci es un taxón mucho más joven de lo que se pensaba (~90 Ma), y que este, posiblemente se encuentre en diversificación y expansión 🌱☄️
