Marine biodiversity: what are we missing?

For centuries, humankind has been on a wild quest to estimate the number of living species on Earth. The veil of uncertainty shrouding this endeavour has noticeably lifted in recent decades, thanks to more extensive explorations and species discovery work. While this heralds exciting progress, we’re still far from uncovering and describing all of biodiversity, particularly within the depths of our oceans. 

In this talk, dive deep into the abyss with our Deputy Head, Associate Professor Huang Danwei, to hunt for missing puzzle pieces of marine biodiversity. Come  and explore with us new approaches to turbocharge our species discovery game in the oceans!
