We are happy to announce that Dr. Lukáš Pawera, the TRIBE team alumnus, was elected the new Student Representative of the Society for Economic Botany. As a member of the TRIBE team, Lukáš successfully completed his PhD research project and defended his dissertation titled Food, agrobiodiversity and diet: the nutritional ethnobiology of the Minang and Mandailing indigenous food systems in West Sumatra.
The Society for Economic Botany (SEB) is about exploring the uses of, and our relationship with plants, cultures and our environment. It was established in 1959 with the mission to foster and encourage scientific research, education, and related activities on the past, present, and future uses of plants, and the relationship between plants and people.

Congratulations!
