I would like to congratulate Geoff on this award and also thank him
enthusiastically for all he has done to significantly upgrade the WoRMS
database over the past several years. It is simply amazing to me that we
now have links to so many publications embedded in the database, as well as
history on some of the name changes, comments on same, and other pieces of
information that in the "old days" might have been impossible to ferret out
without a great deal of effort. A huge job, well done.
Thank you, Geoff!
best regards,
Nancy
