I know Dr. William Duellman, herpetologist at the University of Kansas, got in trouble several years ago for collecting numerous specimens without proper permits in Central America and bringing them back to the US. He had to publish an explanation of the "miscommunications",
a public apology, and an explanation of the permitting processes in Herpetological Review as part of his punishment. I don't remember right off hand which issue, but it should be searchable. Let me know if you need help finding the issue.</div>

<div>Do any of you know of any *published* natural history / science controversies in museums that are quite famous? These could range from taking on specimens or collections that are controversial, to research conducted by museums staff/curators that was deemed
controversial, etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ideally, I'd like a publication or documentary / video that has the details. No need to reply with unpublished accounts! & These should involve museum specimens (so no need to reply with stories of misbehaviors of museum personnel if specimens were not
involved).<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
