The website for the project we helped start to develop DNA barcodes for all fish, appropriately called “FISH-BOLâ€, is now on-line at https://www.fishbol.org/.
Fortune magazine’s 8 August issue publishes “Meet the Supergrid” about Chauncey Starr and the idea we have helped develop about a continental supergrid for joint transport and storage of electricity and hydrogen.
Two recent reports from the Census of Marine Life have drawn
worldwide attention.
The All Birds Barcoding Initiative’s inaugural workshop will be held at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University on September 8-9, 2005. Mark Stoeckle has prepared an illustrated brochure describing the needs and resources for this exciting new initiative, which will be one of the first large-scale explorations of the fine structure of genomic biodiversity.
Aware of our long-standing interest in science & diplomacy and belief that science effectively bridges peoples, Harvard physics professor Richard Wilson contacted us in December 2003 about helping U. of Baghdad faculty in science & engineering to visit the USA. We were pleased to help make possible the visit, which finally began 25 June 2005 and earned a front-page story in the Boston Globe 1 July.
The conference, held on 10 Feb 2005, brought together over 200 participants from a wide range of disciplines. The Natural History Museum has this news item regarding the event.
Out of this conference comes three new initiatives: one to count all birds in the world, one to count all fishes in the world (Fish-BOL), and one to count all plant life in Costa Rica. The Fish-BOL group held a workshop in Guelph on 5 June 2005 (see the progam)
We posted two of our older papers, Rails and Snails and the Debate over Goals for Science and Graphical Representations of World Population Growth
