Garg <[email protected]> Cc: Akshata Pradhan <[email protected]>, Varsha Sathish Kumar < [email protected]> Dear Garg Ji, Greetings and Namaskar on behalf of the Organising Committee of CitSci India 2024! I am writing to request you to deliver a talk at the 5th *online* Conference on Citizen Science for Biodiversity <https://citsci-india.org/>, to be held on the 12th and 13th of December 2024*, *on behalf of the organizing committee of the Conference*. *The previous editions of this Conference have all been online, exploring the emergent issues in citizen science theory and practice in India. Last year, we had 400+ participants, 50+ experts, and practitioners from 130+ organizations across 20 countries. Recordings of all the *public sessions <https://citsci-india.org/citsci-india-2023/>* and a full report of the Conference <https://citsci-india.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/CitSci2024_ConferenceReport.pdf> are available for your reference. The theme of Day 1 of this year's Conference is - *Challenges and Opportunities in Species Identification: Enhancing Data Quality in Citizen Science for Biodiversity Research.* We believe the outstanding work you have led two decades back through eFlora of India <https://efloraofindia.com/> would provide the ideal context for our first-day conference theme. The conference organizers and the larger citizen scientist community of India would appreciate insights from your incredible contribution to this initiative, where you and your team developed one of the biggest plant databases of Indian Flora. We look forward to learning from your experiences how a non-botanist played an outstanding role in curating the eflora of India and connecting hundreds of plant taxonomy experts and non-experts. *We would like to schedule your talk for Thursday, 12th December 2024, in the afternoon session. The entire Conference will be run through a Discord server to facilitate text-based interaction throughout the Conference.* We would be honored to have your talk and learn about an incredible story of the citizen-led initiative of eflora of India at our Conference. *Please let us know if this is possible. We are excited to hear from you.* Sincerely, Shyam Phartyal Organising Committee Member CitSciIndia 2024 Mob: 9410941154 *Research Profiles: *Google Scholar <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=rfoUTKsAAAAJ&hl=en> / Research Gate <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Shyam-Phartyal> *Social Media Profiles: *Twitter <https://twitter.com/shyamphartyal> / Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/shyam.phartyal/> <https://www.instagram.com/shyam.phartyal/>/ LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/shyam-s-phartyal-a520113b/> *======================================================================* *Founding **coordinator: **SeedArc- A global Research **Initiative (**Webpage Link* <https://www.unioviedo.es/seedarc/#:~:text=SeedArc%20is%20a%20partnership%20of%20seed%20scientists%20dedicated,community%3B%20and%20advance%20open%20science%20in%20seed%20ecology.> ) <https://www.unioviedo.es/seedarc/#:~:text=SeedArc%20is%20a%20partnership%20of%20seed%20scientists%20dedicated,community%3B%20and%20advance%20open%20science%20in%20seed%20ecology.> *Associate Editor: **Functional Ecology *- Official Journal of British Ecological Society (link <https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/13652435/editorial-board/associate-editors> ) <https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/13652435/editorial-board/associate-editor-profiles> *Recent publications:* *Plant size, latitude, and phylogeny explain within-population variability in herbivory | Science <https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh8830>.* *SeedArc, a global archive of primary seed germination data | New Phytologist <https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.19143#pane-pcw-related>.* *Global seed dormancy patterns are driven by macroclimate but not fire regime | New Phytologist <https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/nph.19173>.* -- With regards, J.M.Garg -- With regards, J.M.Garg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "eFloraofIndia" group.
