🌲🌲🌲 @scion_research #BioCollections assisting New Zealand scientists to discover a new needle disease on stone pine caused by #Phytophthora pluvialis. First report of its kind in the world! 🌎 Read more here: https://t.co/Dsjkb8VR3y
Awesome to see @scion_research #BioCollections fungal cultures helping the successful completion of a Masters & Ph.D. on Phytophthora cinnamomi. Well done Alexandra Cox (https://t.co/pCM05S2sTH) and Christina Andronis (https://t.co/w0Pjo8NoBe)
@dpsSpiders @SiobhanLeachman @pterygote Thanks tons for the encouragement. @dpsSpiders managed the magic of joining us from 30K feet ✈️ getting here. #Botany2023 #SISRIS Workshop, a great time, 30 peeps, students to senior career botanists. #culturechange #inclusion #peoplematter #biocollections https://t.co/nuf3OcFVKZ
Just curated a remarkable find in Pureora! 🌲 Tānekaha/Celery Pine subfossil in our care @scion_research #BioCollections, buried under pumice after the Taupo crater eruption c. AD 186.🌋A glimpse into our past, shedding light on the forces of nature and the resilience of life.
Rediscovered amazing #TNRS (https://t.co/QvbBeMRUsF) for unscrambling species names from OCR'd dot-matrix printouts! From @scion_research #xylarium and #BioCollections data: Simarousa glauoa is now corrected to Simarouda glauca. #biodiversity #taxonomy
🔎 the fungal specimens from @scion_research #BioCollections in the phylo-tree used to 🔬 for new strains of edible mushrooms in the Brazilian Amazon Forest.
J-STAGE Articles - Lentinula ixodes comb. nov. including new records in Brazil https://t.co/ZhSC3WfZYX
Guess what I'll be reading for the next year🙂. More pages than the family Bible! Will improve #biocollections @scion_research. Thanx @SPNHC, @conservators, @smithsonian, @GWtweets
Why does knowing the "who" matter? It empowers us in so many ways. #biocollections #taxonomists tacit #knowledgetransfer #data4good find out more in our blog post - how you can contribute AND benefit. https://t.co/8VtuHYE0y2
Further thoughts on how to find "who is in your database" in the guest post by the study's authors @SvMering @Heatherette13 @SiobhanLeachman @dpsSpiders @idbdeb & @cabbageleek on our blog:

#BioCollections shouldn't only be about storage and documenting diversity but for sharing and teaching! It's a living collection with a history you can touch and experimence. @scion_research
Not all fungi are bad!
There's a wealth of knowledge, products, and uses we can gain from understanding the microbial diversity associated with plants, particularly trees. This is where funding and #biocollections can support fungal discovery @scion_research
Very excited to have been picked as the winner of the Research Impact Competition @westernsydneyu! https://t.co/w1WoS3Lru3
The power of collections to tackle important problems, such as #biodiversity loss. However, they require significant investment to extract the most value.
Collections => Data banks

A good read! Acknowledging data from 64 herbaria, including @MBIEsci funded #National_Forestry_Herbarium @scion_research #BioCollections. Handy list of specimens studied. https://t.co/XBOE7bF0Tg via @Phytokeys
Where there's smoke, there is 🔥. And fortunately for Scion's #biocollections there are also curators who have undergone health and safety training with fire extinguishers. Great work team! 👏👏👏
When you work with #biocollections, sometimes you have to put out 🔥 - metaphorically.
Today, we learned how to literally put out 🔥🔥🔥 @MattBuys demonstrates his firefighting skills here. Health & safety @scion_research is important, especially for our priceless collections!

The Bad & Ugly => Good. @MBIEsci funded National Forestry Xylarium @scion_research #BioCollections being digitised. Sellotape definitely a bad idea if you want things to last.
Before and after - Dot matrix printout from 40 years ago => #Brahms_database via OCR and ∞ hours of eyeballing. #National_Forestry_Xylarium @scion_research #BioCollections, the largest xylarium in NZ, undergoing a curatorial upgrade.
The #National_Forestry_Herbarium @scion_research #BioCollections put to good use in combatting Dutch Elm Disease (DED). Chris Inglis (SPS Biota) visiting Elizabeth Miller to study herbarium specimens of elms surveyed in the past—some trees in Auckland show possible resistance!
Of the ± 33000 plant specimens in #National_Foresty_Herbarium @scion_research #BioCollections, 100% databased, 52% imaged. https://t.co/LsvoA4S7yK
#National_Forest_Culture_Collection @scion_research #BioCollections being used to save kauri. https://t.co/AVslEBU5Jo
