We have a new volume out! www.routledge.com/The-New-Taxo...
This collates contributions from a symposia in last year's Biennial Meeting. If you care for taxonomy and are curious about its future, check it out!
(Psst, Routledge is running its mid-year sale right now!)
And this year's Policy 'Lecture' aka discussion panel is underway! @systassn.bsky.social @linneansociety.bsky.social
