During the larger conference peracarid-centric participants convened an informal gathering in the Sorbonne University courtyard to compile our interests and lists of peracarids we wish to include in our molecular and morphological endeavors. An amazingly productive activity with so many folks offering this taxon or that taxon in ethanol, in RNA, and this available for genome sequencing. "So-and-so has this," "So-and-so can easily get that"—the spirit of collaboration is solid. Truly, a community like no other.
A meeting of international collaborators.
