About the speaker: Dr. Sara Beery uses technology to address conservation and sustainability challenges. Her research develops computer vision methods for global-scale environmental and biodiversity monitoring, tackling issues like domain shift, imperfect data, and long-tailed distributions.
Talk overview: Biodiversity is crucial for sustainable development, public health, and mitigating climate change, yet we are facing an unprecedented loss. Dr. Beery will discuss how AI can facilitate the efficient extraction of scientific insights from massive amounts of natural-world data collected by sensors, satellites, and drones. She will explore the challenges posed by real-world data and present exciting new research directions that aim to enable global-scale, near-real-time biodiversity monitoring.
Moderator: Dr. Tanya Berger-Wolf is a Professor of Computer Science Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at the Ohio State University

20th ISMS Congress Proceedings, Keynotes and Photo Gallery Now Available
The proceedings, keynote presentations and photo gallery from the recent 20th ISMS Congress (ISMSC) are now available to all ISMS members via the ISMS website. Details and links are provided below.
The very successful Congress was held in conjunction with the 26th North American Mushroom Congress to create a super international mushroom event from 26-29 February at the JW Marriott Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
The feedback received from both delegates and presenters was very positive. Many delegates were attending an ISMSC for the first time and fully appreciative of the opportunity to meet with other mushroom industry personnel to share their knowledge and interests.
