Productive and inspiring day with BGCI colleagues at @rbgkew.bsky.social talking about living collections management and data ecosystems. A highlight was first ever visit to the newly restored Marianne North gallery. Absolutely fabulous. Must see.

Great to see our paper on the front cover @natureecoevo.bsky.social, with the tropical displays in our glasshouse range! With thanks to all 50+ co-authors. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Nice editorial on the issues facing a variety of ex situ plant collection. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
This month’s cover image is of a diverse display of tropical plant species under ex situ cultivation in the glasshouses at Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Cambridge, UK.
