Arnau participated in the II Spanish Botany Congress. He co-organized the symposium “Invasive flora: from cataloging to management, through ecology & evolutionary biology”. He also presented his PhD plan on identifying plant invasion syndromes in mountains globally (part of the MIREN project) 🌍⛰️.

At the end of February, Pavel Pipek (@pavelpipek.bsky.social) (Institute of Botany, Czech Academy of Science) came for a visit. In-between catching up, bird-watching, and exciting discussions on culturomics & iEcology, the IRIS team got an introduction into html and data mining.

Today, we had our first (of hopefully many) weekly IRIS team meetings to get to know each other & catch up on our projects, progresses and potential mishaps 🙂 We can’t wait to see where all our projects will lead to & what new ideas will come up in these meetings. Stay tuned!
