@iaptglobal IAPT has no access to high-quality botanical illustrations?🙃

[Anton Savchenko @notgaudi]

@doshch Yeah, It's almost fun to watch newborn AI experts coming out of the woodworks to build AI taxonomy tools, while asking for help from taxonomists.

@b_verstraete Perfectly possible and also delicious!)

@b_verstraete Brecht, I didn't anticipate how frequently I would be thinking about this comment.)

[Anton Savchenko @notgaudi]

@IrynaYatsiuk @unitartu @KoljalgUrmas Congrats! It was a great defense and a huge work combining taxonomy and biodiversity data.

[Anton Savchenko @notgaudi]

@KamounLab @EsterGaya1 Well, calling people unenlightened and insecure will surely convince them to do preprints 😉

[Anton Savchenko @notgaudi]

@MS_fungi and what's more important, is the false information. E.g., it says "Hyphae densely branching and frequently anastomoses [?], with a loop-like basal clamp attachment." - that's just not true, most dacrymycetes are clampless.
etc etc

[Anton Savchenko @notgaudi]

@MS_fungi Well, yes, but that was a rather big chunk of text. If author thinks that they cannot express the facts better than the reference, then just quote the whole part or indicate somehow that it is reproduced without changes - I have no issue with that.
