Šuspa led an excursion for students and the public at the weekend. Roasting sausages and a visit to the pub were included. Šuspa has demonstrated many nice plants, among others, Blechnum spicant, Potentilla norvegica, and Scirpus radicans. Photos by @eusic.bsky.social

I had a great time at #Biospace25, the first international conference dedicated exclusively to the use of remote sensing to study biodiversity - high quality talks, sessions and workshops - lots of food for thought and lots of nice people in an always exciting venue like the European Space Agency!
