BMS support for Ukraine
The British Mycological Society is devastated with the ongoing situation in Ukraine and the unacceptable violence and loss of life.
Our mission is to promote fungal science internationally and we are proud to have members from across the world including Ukraine. We want to help our friends and colleagues impacted by this unnecessary war in whatever way we can.
The BMS is making a donation to the Council for At-Risk Academics (cara) who are poised to support academics from Ukraine. Their ongoing work in relation to this crisis can be seen here.
Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people at this dreadful time.
