🧪🦟 Can confirm that the Smithsonian will keep ownership of the 1.5 million specimens and perhaps some limited staff from WRBU however most were either fired or moved to military facilities. With so much happening around us it's hard to focus but expect to hear more from me about this going forward.

I just heard this from the source today. This had been brewing since last year. It's amazingly short sighted and indicative of decisions made by people who don'tunderstand the value of this group. It will have long lasting negative repurcussions for mosquito borne disease.

FYI. Shuttered, yesterday. I’m ready to start eating the rich now.

If you're not familiar with the WRBU it was formed by the US Army back in the 1960s to catalog and study mosquitoes from around the world but focused on locations like SE Asia with active theaters. Since then they've published hundreds of papers and amassed a collection of over 1 million mosquitoes.
