SSSDay

botanical garden Zurich

Workshop 31.10 and SSSDay 01.11 - Botanical garden Zurich

Workshop on Research Data Management

Our SSS-Day Workshop on Thursday, October 31st, is devoted to research data management (RDM) relevant for collection-based research projects. We will present recent developments and emerging tools for RDM, in line with the Open Research Data agenda and FAIR principles for scientific data. We will address sampling documentation in natural history collections, as well as digital tools for managing research data, making the workshop relevant both for collection managers and individual researchers.

We will start the program with an introduction and an overview on the requirements and tools for research data documentation, as outlined among others by the SNF. Further presentations will address different user stories and digital data management strategies, supported by newly developed and not yet broadly known software tools. Instructions and practical work during the day deal with using these tools, including Obsidian in combination with Zotero, and Jupyter Notebooks as part of the openBIS platform. The workshop will wrap up with a discussion among all participants about preferred approaches and further plans for technical development.

SSSDay: The annual meeting will take place on Friday, November 1rst, at the lecture hall at the botanical garden.

Invited speakers:

Nicolas Puillandre (MNHN Paris): Integrative taxonomy, concepts and methods

Rodrigo Camara Leret (Uni Zurich): Cultural dimensions of biodiversity

The program will include regular and short talks, the Master Prize Award, and the general assembly of the Society, during which we will vote for the new species of the year.

Deadline for abstract submission and workshop registration: 18.10.2023

Deadline for SSSDay registration: 25.10.2023

Cultural dimensions of biodiversity

Trésors d'herbiers

New Book : Trésors d'herbiers

authors : Guilhem Mansion & Alessia Guggisberg (curator ETHZ)

This book reveals - through the eventful history of plants and the equally fascinating history of the men who collected them - the hidden side of a herbarium collection. A collection of herbarium plates is a plant treasure with a double beauty: intrinsic, the fruit of the fascinating adventure of the plant, its evolution, its multiple adaptations or its diverse properties, and that of its collector, scientist, enthusiast, traveler or simply curious; extrinsic, through the splendor of the sample, the care taken by the collector and its enhancement by the curator.
