Weekly #KewScience talk by Olwen Grace on the evolution of #AETFAT ("Association pour l'Etude Taxonomique de la Flore d'Afrique Tropicale"): how participation & subjects of study have changed as the association opened up & moved from Europe to Africa
Had a similar org history talk at #TDWG2022 - important but difficult to investigate as much info about meetings is lost - e.g. website for #AETFAT2022 already seems offline
