This month, B-Cubed was presented in Belfast at the British Ecological Society annual meeting – Europe’s largest conference dedicated to ecology. Louise Hendrickx from Meise Botanic Garden did a poster presentation about B-Cubed’s workflow for the calculation of phylogenetic indicators, explaining what phylogenetic diversity is and why it is relevant to B-Cubed’s work. The poster included a questionnaire for the attendees, allowing Louise to collect valuable input on the topic.

In her presentation, Louise emphasised B-Cubed’s plan to create a workflow that can be used by anyone and started discussions that will help decide in which direction the workflow should proceed. She also raised awareness about the project by distributing B-Cubed leaflets and encouraged people to visit the website.
