Botany 2010 Conference & Imaging Tour
The International Year of Biodiversity
We are please to announce we will be attending BOTANY 2010 this year. Being the year of biodiversity we decided to also perform an experiment & case study by volunteer to image specimens before and after the conference along the east coast. This year the conference will be held in Providence, Rhode Island on July 31 - August 4 at the Rhode Island Convention Center. More information about the conference can be found on the official website.
Imaging Tour
SilverBiology will be performing full day imaging and demonstrations of our software. We will be leaving from our office in Baton Rouge on July 18th and driving to Botany 2010 (BSA Conference in Providence, Rhode Island). We will be passing through the east coast until August 15th. During this time we would like to stop and provide a one day workshop on imaging, processing, and interacting with herbarium specimen sheets. Our goal during this tour is to image and process over 5,000 specimen sheets. We are asking for interested herbaria to request that we stop and visit by sending us an email at contact@silverbiology.com.
