I was thrilled to be invited to join the editorial team of NeoBiota after meeting Editor-in-Chief Ingolf Kühn at the GUBIC symposium in Toronto in June. The journal is online, open-access and aims to advance all areas of research on alien species and biological invasions.

Elected Secretary of Botanical Society of Otago
At the May AGM of the Botanical Society of Otago (BSO), I was elected to the role of Secretary. I am excited to undertake a committee role like this once again as I haven’t done such “extra-curricular” work since my PhD, and it will be my first role in a professional type of society. I have some very big shoes to fill, but the committee has been very welcoming and the former secretary is patiently mentoring me in my duties. I look forward to being more active in the BSO and posting updates on our activities.
