Yes! The tools are available in all Symbiota portals but the keys have to be built in each one. I think Evan is working in the NEON portal biorepo.neonscience.org 😊.

One last stop in Bogota! Of course, I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit Colombian collections!! Thanks to Juan Pablo Botero, Ericka Vergara, and John Cesar Neita for sharing their beautiful anthribids with me!! 💚 It was also great to meet @dimitriforero.bsky.social in person! Hasta la próxima!🤗

If you missed any of our #Symbiota talks/posters, they are still available in the #LivingData platform! We'll also submit extended abstracts to BISS so you can check every detail later 💚.

I particularly loved learning about so many incredible initiatives around the world 🌎🌍🌏. It is beautiful to witness such passion and engagement for biodiversity data, and the desire to help and empower communities in every possible way 💚.

What a week! I enjoyed every day of #LivingData in Bogota!

Sounds great! It is a little confusing how the herbaria many times are set as institutions instead of collections 😅. I haven't touched those codes for our collections because they come from Index Herbariorim but would love to help organize at some point!

Thank you! Will give it another try 💚.

Finally for #GB32, the Governing Board Meeting in the beautiful Botanical Garden! What a privilege being able to join representing the #SymbiotaNode💚. Thank you, GBIF, it was truly a great experience 🥰. Now, on to #LivingData! 🤩

The GBIF Nodes Meeting was also very special! It was great being able to finally meet so many (virtually) familiar faces from all over the world 🌎😊. Thanks to Universidad de Externado and Universidad de Los Andes for hosting! Thanks @gbif.org for the lovely group photo 🥰.

The #GBIF Nodes Training was amazing! A lot of work but also a lot of fun with an amazing global community. I really loved engaging with my #Magenta group 🇵🇱🇧🇯🇨🇵🇳🇴🇲🇬🇹🇩🇺🇸💚(🇬🇹)😊. Among many other subjects, there was certainly some passion for collections in the group 🥰😁. #SymbiotaNode #GB32

Of course, I had to spend some time in the UNMSM Entomology Collection checking the weevils!!! 😍 Thanks to Dr. Mabel Alvarado (KU graduate!), Dr. Luis Figueroa and their wonderful students for their help. As a bonus, I digitized some anthribids in my research profile 🥰. ecdysis.org/collections/...

I can't thank our hosts at UNMSM enough for their hospitality and enthusiasm! 💚
