We've released NSL 2.0 (APNI/APC) to the world. You can check it out at biodiversity.org.au/nsl/services We're still feeling our way, feedback welcome
A little-know botanist, prone to flowery prose and long gone to seed, he ultimately managed to push up a fine crop of daisies. #myozobituary
Peter Weston talking about infinite regression and the outgroup for the tree of life. there is none. we are unrooted (or rooted) #AusSysBot

RT @nlagovau: "We are Geeks: we brought you the Internet. You're welcome." - @piawaugh at #InnovativeIdeas
@PaulN_Edwards @froggybeth I don't remember expressing an opinion, only relaying the reference quoted in a presentation.
Open science interest in people at #alass13? Aware of figshare.com and peerj.com? No? Very cool take a look #figshare
And that's a wrap... thanks to all for the presentations and the all the work behind the scenes for a very successful symposium. #alass13
and #doitinthecloud suggests @snomelf "Kevin Thiele. Perhaps taxonomy could be done entirely within the #ALAu." #alass13
Great to hear @froggybeth & @gloryofthe90s saying how valuable @BioDivLibrary is in their collection management work #alass13
Kevin Thiele closing. The ALA in a connected world - where are we and where are we going? Looking towards the next 10 years. #alass13
#milleniumdigitizationproject :) "@funkycoda: Interesting that @froggybeth has data from the #future #3013 #alass13 "
