<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">I've heard at least one taxonomist say that privately collecting organisms as a child was an important entree to becoming a taxonomist as an adult, and that hyper-restrictive
collecting laws may stymy development of future taxonomists. As an example of a hyper-restrictive collecting law, in the state of Minnesota, individuals over the age of 16 cannot collect shells of freshwater mussels that are already dead unless they possess
a fishing license. This is a long shot, but is there any museum education literature to support this connection between collecting as a child and becoming a taxonomist as an adult? Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
