Bioquest in Leidse Singelpark: meer dan tweeduizend soorten en vijf nieuwe voor Nederland
Sinds de oprichting heeft het Singelpark in Leiden de ene accolade na de andere ontvangen. Zo'n 350.000 mensen lopen jaarlijks het 6,5 kilometer lange rondje en onlangs werd het park bekroond met de Large Urban Parks Award 2026. Nu zijn dankzij een burgerwetenschapsproject van Stichting Taxon Foundation ook de natuur-hoogtepunten in kaart gebracht. De resultaten zijn op 6 november gepresenteerd.

🎃 Forget the costume shop. Cephalopods are the masters of disguise.

At the MBL, scientists study cephalopods to answer questions about neuroscience, RNA editing, natural behaviors, and more.

What a wonderful #NABT2026! 💚🧬 Sharing @bioquest and QUBES platform, reconnecting with science educator friends, discovering creative teaching ideas, and celebrating Deb's ingenious pop-up outreach station!

Finished at Perot Museum, where I survived as prey TWICE. 🦖😂

More science stories coming!
A group of smiling people pose together in front of a BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium poster at the 2026 National Association of Biology Teachers conference in Dallas. Deb Rook smiles beside a small, informal BioQUEST outreach display near conference registration. The table holds brochures, flyers, pens, lanyards, and information about BioQUEST programs. Colorful interactive game screen at the Perot Museum showing a cartoon prey animal facing a dinosaur-like predator in a grassy landscape. Their defensive abilities are labeled “Foul Smell” and “Poison Spray.” Sarah Prescott smiles for a selfie in front of a vibrant pink and purple Discovering LIFE exhibit at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. Large lime-green letters and magnified cell images fill the background.

BioQuest a été conçu dans cette perspective. Le projet se déroule en trois phases : une première phase de découverte, suivie d’une phase de vérification sur une cohorte indépendante, puis d’une étude prospective destinée à valider la signature de biomarqueurs et à évaluer son utilité clinique.
