Hamburg’s Senator for Science, Maryam Blumenthal, visited the Museum of Nature Hamburg yesterday. 🌿
Today it’s official: the new Museum of Nature will be part of the #Elbtower – a major step for science and public engagement in Hamburg.

#LIBresearch: Exciting to see this new paper out in Science — revealing how genetic architecture shapes the evolution of plumage coloration in wheatears! 🐦
Proud to see LIB researcher Alexander Suh among the contributors.

Was für tolle Nachrichten!

#LIBresearch: Sometimes, species look identical on the outside—but have been evolving separately for millions of years.
🪲 A new LIB-led study shows that even when males and females disperse very differently, such cryptic species can be surprisingly old.

#LIBresearch: Great to see this call to rethink the value of short-read sequencing for biodiversity research — still so much potential to explore!

Proud to see LIB researchers among the co-authors. 🌿🧬

#LIBresearch: Great to see the first paper from the global BugNet network out — setting the stage for large-scale insights into how invertebrates and pathogens shape ecosystems worldwide! 🪲
Proud to see LIB researchers among the contributors.

#Type specimens are key to naming life, but rarely sequenced. We need safer, smarter ways to link names to #genomes. #LIBresearch joint work with @univie.ac.at @nhmwien.bsky.social @sgn.one @mfnberlin.bsky.social @mncn-csic.bsky.social 👉 doi.org/10.1093/sysb... #Biodiversity #Taxonomy #Museum #DNA

#1. Frozen Futures – The Role of Biobanking in Biodiversity Genomics Genomic Connections · Episode

We spoke to Jonas Astrin and Camilla Di Nizo from @leibnizlib.bsky.social about their work at a large #biobank facility — covering the basics of biobanking: what it actually means, and why it's so important for #biodiversity research.

Wir ( @s4f-leipzig.bsky.social ) hatten scheinbar halb BlueSky im Interview, bevor es BlueSky überhaupt schon gab. Zum Beispiel den Insektenexperte¹ @krogmann.bsky.social vom @smnstuttgart.bsky.social (Episode 4 von 114)
