for one year of an NSF-awarded Collections in Support of Biological Research grant focused on the Cretaceous of the Eastern Pacific. NHMLA, the largest natural history museum in the western United States, has recently finished a dramatic transformation including
new ground-breaking exhibitions and a 3-acre wildlife garden. The Museum's mission is to inspire wonder, discovery, and responsibility for our natural and cultural worlds. Our strategic intent, "To be the best at communicating how our planet and life on it
changes over time and why this matters" guides our priorities for the next decade.</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
