What epoch is it? The ICS geologists say we're still in the Holocene. To understand all this, we’re revisiting Joyce Chaplin's recent review essay that situates the #Anthropocene concept in the context of the history of ideas.

Some people may be wondering—if the collections are going to end up in another herbarium, what is the big deal? The specimens and their data will still be protected, right? But that isn't the whole story... 1/n
I was just forwarded communications from Duke admins that this is true: one of the largest and most active herbaria in the United States is being closed in the middle of an extinction crisis, because Duke leadership does not wish to support the infrastructure costs.
sad news - Duke University decided to dump their herbarium, which has over 800,000 plant specimens, one of the largest among in America, and includes many type specimens of Lady Gaga ferns. What a shame. Please stop Duke admins for making this horrible mistake!!
