1st Place Student Prize at TDWG 2023

iDigBio would like to wish Michael Elliott a big congratulations for winning the 1^st Place Student Prize at TDWG for his talk titled: "Using ChatGPT with Confidence for Biodiversity-Related Information Tasks"! Michael is a PhD student in the ACIS lab under the supervision of Dr. José A. B. Fortes at the University of Florida. Michael’s talk focused on how users can mine ChatGPT for information that is not yet found in data aggregators like iDigBio and do so with high confidence in the correctness of that information.

Congratulations again, Michael Elliott!
