Details to come, but I’ll be speaking about the use of iNaturalist for plant identification and supporting land management efforts in the Chicago Region. The talk is hosted through the Società Romana di Scienze Naturali (SRSN), an Italian research institute dedicated to promoting and conducting scientific research in the natural sciences.
