⟢ Reasons to Write
What We Welcome
Any of the categories below is a good reason to reach out. We aim to reply to every message, though response times may be longer during early development.
Research Collaboration
Working on foraminiferal taxonomy, morphology, or paleoceanography and want to explore alignment with the platform's data layer or methodology?
Funding & Partnerships
Interested in supporting the development of an open, community-governed taxonomic infrastructure for marine science?
Data Contributions
Holding a dataset — specimen images, character-state observations, legacy databases — you would like to integrate?

One Address for Everything
During the current Pre-MVP phase, all enquiries — research, data, press, partnerships — go through a single address. Additional channels and a structured contribution portal will open as the platform matures.
We read every message. Response times during the early development phase may be longer than a typical production service — please allow up to one week for initial replies.
Open email clientMore channels — including a structured contribution portal, institutional data-sharing forms, and a public discussion space — are being set up alongside the broader platform rollout.
What to Include in Your Message

- 3 If contributing data: the approximate scope, format, and licence of the dataset.
- 4 If proposing collaboration: what you are working on and how it intersects with the platform's goals.

⟢ Open Science Platform
Shaped by Those Who Use It
The design of every feature — the morphological filter, the vocabulary model, the curation workflow — is influenced by the scientific community it is built to serve. If you work with foraminifera and have a perspective on what this platform should do better, we want to hear it.
