Dear Colleagues:



Molecular Biologist, Dr. Olivia Judson writes a weekly column for the New York Times that comes out every Wednesday. ?Todays article (August 4, 2009) entitled, 'Dawn at the Museum' is well worth noting and have on file for your department head or dean when cuts, elimination and/or moves are suggested for your herbarium or part of the museum. ?It is encouraging to see an eminent molecular biologist today advocate publicly the value of museums when so many in the academic?physiological, cellular and molecular areas have only distain for field biology and specimens.?
