The IGSN ID is now called the International Generic Sample Number to reflect its expanding scope and utilization. See the official announcement at igsn.org/about/.
Missed out on last year's Discovering Samples Archives webinar? Check out the recordings on the ICCROM website iccrom.org/news/discovering-…. Our own @klehnert1 provided a keynote presentation on the application of FAIR data principles to natural history and cultural heritage samples.

Identifiers are more than just labels on rocks. They are anchors of the scholarly record into reality.

@igsn_info & @datacite are pleased to announce their roadmap towards a partnership that intends to support the global adoption, implementation & use of physical sample identifiers. In their blog post @klehnert1 & @mjbuys share the goal of the partnership: doi.org/10.5438/thhf-kx17

50 years after Apollo, we have not got a proper chemical database for the Moon. Thrilled @klehnert1 & her @LamontEarth team are building the AstroMat database. This will be a massive help to scientists like me & will help safeguard vital lunar data. blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2019/0…
Adam Mansur’s keynote at #ESIP2019 highlighted how #IGSN is used by the @NMNH. Live stream link sched.co/MKFy.
Using IGSNs can help reduce the number of flights taken/reduce carbon emissions. “I also make use of previously collected data, and arrange for people to collect samples for me during planned trips, instead of travelling myself.” Kjellman (2019) @Nature doi.org/10.1038/d41586-019-0…
Excited to have @HelenG66 speak about #ENVRIFAIR, @igsn_info as well as work being done in @EuroGeosciences on open and #FAIRdata - much credit to @CopernicusEU on their support!! @theAGU
