New BIEN article out! This one digs in to the details of the BIEN #plant database, but importantly, also announces that BIEN is now #CC-BY (see the SI for details on that)!

Thanks our invited speakers: @carsten-rahbek.bsky.social @swillettgeo.bsky.social , Tara Smiley, Maya Stokes, and Carina Hoorn for their inspiring talks.
And thank @mkborregaard.bsky.social for amazing encouragement and co-organization!
The best way to end up the #TIBS2026 is seeing the northern lights with colleagues! TIBSers, NORTHERN Lights is in Aarhus NOW!
