WeDigBio 2022 Fall Event
Worldwide Engagement for Digitizing Biocollections, or WeDigBio, is a global data campaign, virtual science festival, and local outreach opportunity, all rolled into one. The annual, 4-day WeDigBio events mobilize participants to create digital data about biodiversity specimens, including fish in jars, plants on sheets, insects on pins, and fossils in drawers. During a typical WeDigBio event, some participants are at onsite events hosted by museums, field stations, universities, science classrooms, or other organizations. Those onsite events provide oppor

SACNAS 2021 Conference Workshop: Engaging Communities in Science Research Using BioBlitzes
Biodiversity Spotlight: November 2021
Contributed by Molly Phillips
The end of 2021 is now on the horizon but, if you are like me, your schedule is as busy as ever! I have been thinking about how nice it would be to roll into a ball and block out the world for a little while, which made me think of the marvelous pillbug.
Minority Serving Institutions Listening Session
The iDigBio team is interested in hearing from faculty, staff, and students from Minority Serving Intuitions regarding needs and opportunities for collaboration around digitizing collections and promoting research and teaching using collections. We are also interested to hear about needs and opportunities related to building authentic research experiences in biology for undergraduates.

Dead Leaf Butterfly! (Kallima inachus)
Contributed by: Lauren Bradley
Autumn is right around the corner, and what a beautiful season it is! Here in Florida, we see the occasional red or yellow leaf during the autumn months, but really, all we can hope for is some cooler weather, and even that isn’t guaranteed. The Kallima inachus seems to agree with us humans in admiring the beauty of autumn, as they have evolved to imitate dead leaves! (Thus giving them their common name, the dead leaf butterfly).
