We are a friendly bunch, who like hearing about anything systematics-related (methods included!) and about any taxon! If you're a student (or recent graduate) working on any aspect of systematics, taxonomy and phylogenetics send your abstract along! (Preferably well in advance of October 24!!!)

Join us Nov 13th for #YSF2026, a completely free, online conference where postgraduate students (and other early career researchers) present their work on systematics, taxonomy and/or phylogenetics. Abstract submission closes Oct 24th! REGISTER: tinyurl.com/bdzxt2ht systass.org/young-system...

It’s been a real honour to run this course at @nhm-london.bsky.social this week! Huge thanks to @kaplipa.bsky.social for making it possible, to the instructors @marcelauliano.bsky.social , Sean Stankowski & Tymoteusz Pieszko, and everyone who joined us. Thank you! 🙌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Natural history collections are more than biodiversity archives, they can help shape the future of genomics. By connecting specimens, expertise & genomic data, they enable comparisons across the tree of life. Great to see LIB researchers contributing to this perspective. #LIBresearch

Happy to see our Comment out in @natrevgenet.nature.com ! Species-dense genomics can unlock much richer biological inference, but requires a systematic approach. NHCs hold the material and expertise to play a catalytic role in that direction. #BiodiversityGenomics #NaturalHistoryCollections

Deep breath. Screams from the top of my lungs: "Producing species-dense sampling at biodiversity scale requires the material and expertise already held in natural history collections" 🧪

Very happy to kick off the 5th edition of the #Phylogenomics course with @kaplipa.bsky.social , Tomas Flouri, @sabifo4.bsky.social , @zihengyang.bsky.social , and a wonderfully diverse cohort of attendees from all around the globe!
