Expat Kiwi, Professor of Taxonomy at Glasgow University, inclined to say that something sucks at every available opportunity. Biodiversity informatics, phylogeny, knowledge graphs. I also run the @evoldir.bsky.social bot.

The file came w an agreement and/or understanding that it was for display - & requirements to comply (credit, amount of detail, GISAID logo size).
