Naomi Carvey
MSB Partnership Data Warehouse Project Officer
My role involves the acquisition and online publication of seed collections data from across the MSB Partnership via the MSBP Data Warehouse, directly contributing to Kew’s science strategy target of conserving 25% of the world’s bankable plants by 2020.
I work closely with country co-ordinators and MSB partners as well as developers to facilitate this. I’m keen to make Kew’s data resources as comprehensive and easy to work with as possible, and to contribute toward a strong culture of data sharing and support between partner organisations worldwide.
