Hi, my name is Jo and I work with #seaweeds, freshwater #algae and #mosses @NHM_Botany. One of my favourite specimens in the collection is this 3 metre long seaweed Alaria esculenta because it's such an eccentrically wonderful pressing.
Starting to archive dataset @frictionlessd8a packages into @ZENODO_ORG. These contain links to collectors & determiners (plus more) with reference to the DOI in @GBIF as source of these derived enhancements. See @RBGE_Herbarium doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… as example.
Exciting new paper by >300 scientists analyses the number of common trees in tropical forests: nature.com/articles/s4158…. Read our blog post on #botanicstories here: stories.rbge.org.uk/archives/38461 @Nature @DeclanLMCooper @toby_pennington

George Clifford died #otd 1760. His beautiful #herbarium specimens are mounted to appear growing out of decorative, paper urns with their names on ornate labels. He commissioned #Linnaeus to catalogue his plants and many of his specimens are Linnean types. @LinneanSociety

We’ve officially barcoded and photographed our first lot of Herbarium specimens! Lucky number 0000001 was Lathyrus pratensis, Meadow Vetchling, collected just outside the Science Centre here at the Botanic Garden, quite appropriate if you ask me! @HeritageFundUK 1/2
