Joaquin Hortal and Juliana Stropp visit CIBIO

Dr Joaquin Hortal and Dr Juliana Stropp visited CIBIO for a week-long research secondment on the 14-18th November 2022. Both researchers come from  Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, Spain (CSIC), one of the TROPIBIO project’s main collaborators in Europe.

Their visit had multiple objectives, including;

1. revising an article about taxonomic uncertainty and the Linnean Shortfall;
2. revising an article about taxonomic change in neotropical palms;
3. reviewing an ERC proposal;
4. discussing the joint supervision and future visit of a PhD student and the secondment of a post-doc from CSIC to the TROPIBIO project. 

All objectives were accomplished and new secondments have been planned.
