Does an index of global biodiversity allow for information to be connected? Through my research and collaborative activities, I investigate making biodiversity and research information available and connected. I explore a virtual work space that networks scientists, tools, collections and research information, systems, and workflows in order to efficiently model and understand global biodiversity.
