I’m a retired botanical collections administrator, but still an active botanist specializing in bryophytes (particularly liverworts). Also still active in the natural history collections community. Other interests are gardening and baking

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

Actually, two herbaria maintained at Naturalist in the Netherlands are older— the Rauwolf herbarium and the herbarium known as ‘En Tibi’. both from the 1500s.

Some at NYBG used those crimped metal ventilators- I think mostly those working in the tropics. I can see how they wold promote quicker drying especially over a head source— but I don’t know if there is a downside (maybe sourcing/cost)
