Today I received some mixed news. The good news is that my abstract has been accepted for a poster presentation at an international conference in Sweden. The bad news is that my application for a two months research visit in Austria was unfortunately rejected.

I would appreciate it if someone in this network could help me find where to download a recent "Floristic Map of the World or Biogeographic realms" shapefile.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.
