First in-person evolution symposium in Colombia since 2019! Tons of enthusiastic, talented scholars looking for opportunities/networks. If you conduct research in LA, consider to participate/send students or organize a session/workshop. #COLEVOL has connected generations of evolutionary biologists!
Reflecting today on this quote etched into a bench on campus, as I wonder how many on that campus understand its message.

The great @jembrown.bsky.social closing out #ssb2026
It was a wonderful meeting thanks to the hardwork of Jeremy and funding from @lsu.bsky.social and other sources.
Systematic biology is alive and well. Especially proud of all the Global South who attended.
Strong @lsu.bsky.social contingent at #ssb2026 - LSU alumni and current folks
