Únete a nosotras en #Evol2025! No hay nada mejor que aprender sobre modelización estadística con la única e inigualable @roszenil.bsky.social-excepto hacerlo in español! //Join us! Nothing's better than learning about statistical modeling from the one and only Rosana ZF- except doing it in Spanish!
Interesado en aprender conceptos basicos de estadística durante #Evol2025? Este taller es para tí. @tropicalbotany.bsky.social y yo estaremos hablando de la importancia de estos conceptos. Regístro en la página oficial del congreso. Gracias @systbiol.bsky.social por el apoyo!

Scientists say amid climate change and biodiversity loss, the world’s herbaria could hold the keys to overcoming the crises in their folders of dried plant specimens.
But their future is in question amid cuts to research and education funding:
