WeDigBio Transcription Event by
UTK Herbarium

When: April 7th, 9th, & 10th, 2022
Location: Virtual
Cost: Free

The UTK Herbarium, who has done Moss seminars the past few years at KBGA, are hosting an event that would delight anybody interested in the cataloging and research side of conservation and ecology. In addition to learning, participants will actually be helping scientists by joining natural history collections nationwide as part of a global four day effort to digitize centuries of data about life on Earth. From the Herbarium:

Be a part of a global effort to digitize centuries of data about life on Earth! Organisms may include ferns, fungi, mosses, insects, and mammals. Participants will have an opportunity to meet scientists and join in behind-the-scenes tours or talks about the significance of the scientific collections!

WeDigBio will be held online daily from Thursday, April 7th, Saturday, April 9th, & Sunday, April 10th.

WeDigBio is ideal for teens aged 15+ and adults. However, families are welcome as it is a great opportunity for all age groups to work together. For educators with classes, please contact us directly.
