Identification workshop at the Deutsches Zentrum für Marine Biodiversitätsforschung. This workshop will pair senior taxonomist mentors with graduate student/postdoc mentees, to provide specialized training, as the voucher specimens for sequencing are identified by taxonomic experts. Outcomes for trainees include training in morphology and taxonomy of specific peracarid orders, and training to the level of species identifications, through close mentoring between specialists and students during the workshops. 

In today’s research landscape, effective communication goes beyond papers and presentations. This hands-on workshop introduces video editing as a practical skill for science communication—whether documenting methods, sharing findings, or supporting outreach and collaboration. Participants will explore tools and techniques for creating engaging short-form content, with opportunities to shape discussions and receive personalized feedback. By the end, attendees will have experience with video editing and publishing to make their work more visible and impactful.
