For most collections professionals, a (relatively) new reality of the job is that they must manage data about specimens as well as the specimens themselves. The SPNHC 2022 Data Help Desk will provide conference attendees with an opportunity to stop by our booth and ask data-related questions in an informal and personal setting. Our local presence at the conference is paired with a concurrent virtual Data Help Desk. Our team will be happy to discuss any data-related questions or issues you may have, such as: | For most collections professionals, a (relatively) new reality of the job is that they must manage data about specimens as well as the specimens themselves.

| | | The Fort Worth Botanic Garden and Botanical Research Institute of Texas have merged, becoming a stronger, more comprehensive botanical organization. We explore the critically important world of plants, collaborate to discover the role they play in our cultural and natural environments, and engage people to conserve nature and improve the human experience. | ||

| | | The Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) is a new Research Infrastructure (RI) for Natural Science Collections that aims to create one digitally unified European collection and ensures that all the data is easily Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR principles). DiSSCo represents the largest ever formal agreement between natural history museums, botanic gardens and collection-holding universities in the world. DiSSCo Prepare is the preparatory phase through which DiSSCo will reach the overall readiness necessary for its construction and eventual operation. | ||
