Isotope science and culture: highlights of the 2018 IsoEcol conference
KAUST Ph.D. student Matt Tietbohl attended the 11th International Conference on the Applications of Stable Isotope Techniques to Ecological Studies (IsoEcol) in Chile. Over 250 scientists from 34 countries participated in talks and workshops focused on stable isotope analysis in ecology. Researchers presented findings on diverse applications, from human nutrition to the origins of bodies at Stonehenge. Why it matters: Although not directly AI-related, KAUST's participation in international scientific conferences highlights its multidisciplinary research environment and global engagement.
