Microplants is back! We are in #Eger #Hungary working with Prof. Tamas Pocs on #liverworts Eger is a lovely town. How ironic bryologists from the South Pacfic come to the north to study the south. Wait, what? It is because Tamas is a leading expert in the world! Thank you Tamas!

[MicroPlants @MicroPlants]

The esteemed Prof. Tamas Pocs, with colleague from Fiji looking at Entodon concinnis, only the 5th record in Hungary! Nryologist, Peter Szucs found 49 species of bryophytes in Prof. Pocs' backyard. Check out the paper. What can be found in YOUR backyard? https://t.co/8gLpP5qSzH
