The end of an amazing week in Kigali🇷🇼, with my favorite community of Tropical Biologists celebrating the ATBC's 60th Anniversary and discussing how we can broaden the voices of tropical biology and conservation & establish global partnerships to build a more resilient planet.

It is always a joy to hear Lucia Lohmann present her long history of research with #Bignoniaceae as a model clade, complemented by her collaborative and interdisciplinary work into the evolution of Amazonia. What a rock star, and role model to me! #IBC2024

The XX IBC is coming to an end! Thank you so much, Gonzalo, Juan, and Marcial, for your hard work and for inviting me to be part of this journey. At a time when virtual meetings rule, bringing 3,000 participants from 95 countries to Madrid was not trivial! A truly fantastic week!

Indeed!!!!! Volunteers, you've played a central role at #IBC2024. What the congress would have been like without you, I don't want to imagine!! So proud and grateful for all your hard work. You're the best 👏👏👏👏
