Dr. Wuu Kuang Soh, a botanist at NBG, will delve into the historical significance of herbarium collections and their modern-day applications. His talk will shed light on how these invaluable archives contribute to scientific discoveries, species identification, and the tracking of ecological changes over time. These collections are not just dusty old records – they are essential tools for scientists, educators, and anyone who cares about the future of our environment.
