Conference addendum - Thank you, volunteers!

At the end of the 6th International Barcode of Life conference organizers and participants thanked everyone involved but there is never enough time to full show how much this help is appreciated. Here a re-post from our conference site that is BIO's shoutout to all the volunteers:

Now that the conference is over, we here at BIO have had some time to reflect on the events of that busy week. And one thing became extremely clear – we could not have done any of this without the support and dedication of our crew of volunteers and staff.

Putting together a conference as large as this one is no easy feat, and could not have been accomplished without the help of our tireless crew of volunteers. The staff of BIO offered their time, put on a blue shirt, and took on tasks far outside the norm to help make this conference happen. But the magic behind the scenes was not limited to those wearing blue – all the staff in collections, the lab, BIO admin, and BOLD deserve recognition for their efforts to support the 6th International Barcode of Life Conference.
