A special guest in our collection! 🪲

We welcomed Dr Takao Ishikawa, Vice-Dean for Student Affairs at the Faculty of Biology UW (@wbuw.bsky.social).
We discussed how collections underpin reproducible research, enable museomics, and can help educate future biologists. #MIZPAS #Museomics #Biodiversity

Save the dates and do not miss this course with this amazing team of instructors @hernmoral.bsky.social @claudiafontsere.bsky.social & @jazminrm.bsky.social
