Very happy about the article by Glenn Zorpette in IEEE Spectrum. He joined @projectpsyche.bsky.social during COST-funded @10klepgenomes.bsky.social fieldwork in Italy where we collected & preserved butterflies & moths for reference genomes @sangerinstitute.bsky.social, enjoyed learning & networking.
