Will we know if we have "bent the curve" of biodiversity loss?
Our paper tackling this question is out today in @ScienceAdvances
“Global monitoring for #biodiversity: uncertainty, risk and power analyses to support trend change detection”

Our Unit - Evolutionary & Organismal Biology Unit (EOBU) @jncasr - is celebrating 25 years.
The only department/unit in an Indian institution to have 'evolutionary biology' in its name, and with lots and lots of 'firsts' to its name, too!
You can join online, too (MS Teams)

This looks like a super 'synthesis' of an important topic by one of the leaders in the field! Will certainly make the time to dig into it!
