News: DNA Barcoding Planning Meeting
Location: Coastal Marine Biolabs, Ventura Harbor, California, USA
Description:
From an educational standpoint, DNA barcoding is remarkable for its ability to span systematics, ecology, environmental science and policy, molecular, cellular, and developmental biology, genetics, applied mathematics, and various forms of ICT. Although public engagement with science and nature is consistently cited as a central goal of the…
