Paul D. N. Hebert, Ph.D., FRSC, O.C., University of Guelph receives the 2024 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Earth and Environmental Science for his bold vision to catalog every living organism using a small piece of DNA—a DNA barcode—which allows scientists to rapidly discover new species and assess biodiversity and provides everyone with a means to explore biodiversity for themselves.
The International Barcode of Life (iBOL) Consortium announces the appointment of Dr. Adriana Radulovici as its new Executive Secretary. She replaces Donald Hobern, who announced his departure last year to focus on projects closer to home in Australia.
