We are calling for abstracts for the @worldbioforum.bsky.social session 'Understanding and caring for Arctic biodiversity together'. This will be an interdisciplinary, free-form session open to all taxa, regions and forms of knowledge. Submission deadline 18 Nov. Looking forward to hearing from you!

A snapshot of our expedition to Finnish Lapland this summer, featuring bogs, bugs, a pink hula hoop, and of course, bryophytes and lichens 🌿

Thanks to funders @ec.europa.eu via POLARIN and #MSCActions, and to my brilliant colleagues @miguelvilloslada.bsky.social et al. for keeping morale high!

Check out the Polar Early Career World Summit Synthesis Report, a summary of the input from 238 early career researchers. We were invited to co-create shared priorities relating to polar research planning, generating ideas leading up to the Fifth International Polar Year.
