In support of Dirk (below): For small and thin-shelled mollusks destilled water is horrible. After a few years you have no shell left. Here in Denmark our tap-water is deep ground water, and Denmark is built on cretaceous chalk. Under those conditions I use tap water and with good results.

Hi Tonya,

this depends on the quality of your tap water; if your tap water uses chemicals such as Cl2 or others for purification, or such chemicals are used occasionally in the pipe system to prevent microbial growth, you should test your water first or request this data from your local water supplier. Also, if your tap water is known to have low ion-loads (e.g. because of respective filters or other mechanical purification by your water supplier), the desired effect might be marginal.

What Simon describes is sedimentation (mainly) of carbonates; if you use tap water, the mixture needs to rest for one day until the alcohol can be used, because the shifts in the solubility equilibrium will cause precipitation of ions.

If these are mainly carbonates (cf. data of your local water supplier), that the minerals can be suited to stabilise the specimens inside jars or to buffer against pH-shift. However, we know little about the ion activity of hydrogen-ions in alcohol mixtures and their effect on pH-shifts and measuring of the pH in alcohol mixtures is a tricky task (the only reliable way would be titration).

On the other hand, distilled or bi-distilled water attracts CO2 from the surrounding air and leads to pH values of 5 or lower in freshly distilled water.

So there are pros and cons. We have very good and pure tap water here in our museum, and I have been using tap water for nearly 20 years without any negative results.

Hope this helps
Dirk

Hi Tonya, I have found it okay to use tap for diluting formalin whereas alcohol produces a precipitate with tap so I use deionised or RO for diluting alcohol.

Hello all,

I?ve been thinking about the best water to use for diluting ETOH down to 70% for storing formalin-preserved vertebrates.  Early on I was taught to only every use deionised water, to avoid the introduction of other chemicals, impurities, etc. However,  I have recently heard that using good quality tap water may be in fact better than deionised/demineralised water, as deionised water is not in a stable state and so can in fact pull minerals out of the specimen. I would love to hear what other people use and what your thoughts may be on this. Thanks!

Cheers,

Tonya

Hi Katja

Yes, traditionally fish specimens are fixed in 3.4% formalin and then transferred to 70% ethanol for long term preservation.  When topping off is necessary we usually use two criteria to determine what to top off with.  If the jar is under half full we usually discard all old preservative and fill with fresh 70%.  If the jar is more than 50% full then we simply top off with fresh 70% ethanol.  If alcohol is particularly oily or discolored we will also completely change fluid ? especially in a teaching collection where specimens need to be viewed more often.  Fort research specimens we will not change fluid unless absolutely necessary to avoid further leaching of oils, lipids and color out of the specimens.

The important factor to consider when mixing your 70% ethanol is to ensure that you keep the acidity down by mixing with deionized water or tap water (if your tap water is alkaline enough).  A simple alkalinity test will determine whether tap water is sufficient.  Thorough mixing of the alcohol and water is also necessary to ensure an even mixture.  We use an air bubbler for about an hour to ensure thorough mixing of the fluid before use.

Hope that helps.  Happy to answer any further more specific questions.

Hi Katja,

The specimens would likely have been fixed (initial stage of preservation, from fresh material) in formaldehyde solution and then preserved in alcohol.

Auto-dilution of alcohol is well-known but trying to maintain the correct concentration of alcohol is much more difficult.  There are instruments that can measure the precise concentration but these are quite expensive (Mettler Toledo and the Anton Paar DMA 135n).
Since most museums have large collection and few staff to maintain them, they tend to have their own protocols to short-cut this otherwise lengthy process.  Most just top up the jars using a more concentrated level of alcohol (80%) and hoping that the overall concentration of each jar?s alcohol will end up around the 60-70% mark.
John Simmons, Ollie Crimmen and Andy Bentley will probably write something as they have had more experience in fish collections and dealing with fish oil contaminants as well.

With all good wishes, Simon.

We have just started caring for a small teaching collection of fish. The jars seem to be filled with alcohol, but I am assuming that the original specimens were preserved with formaldehyde. Many of the specimens need the fluid in the jars topped off, but I do not know what concentration of ethanol we should be using.

Does anyone have a protocol for their collection they would be willing to share?

Thank you,

AIBS Urges Arizona State Board of Education to Reject Draft Science Standards

The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) asked the Arizona State Board of Education on September 20 to reject recently proposed science standards.  The draft standards had been revised in their final stage of development by a specially appointed committee, resulting in changes to the treatment of evolution and climate change science.

AIBS expressed its concern that the draft standards "fail to properly address important aspects of evolution science and remove climate change science from the high school curricula," and requested that the standards be revised by "science and science education experts."  AIBS further warned that, "Arizona will jeopardize its prior investments and future economic opportunities if it waters down science standards by eliminating essential scientific concepts and fields of study to placate political interests."

EPA to Merge Science Adviser and Science Policy Offices

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to merge the Office of the Science Adviser with the Office of Science Policy as a part of the agency's overhaul of the Office of Research and Development (ORD), according to multiple reports.  The ORD staff were informed about the plan by ORD leadership on September 26, 2018.

The Hill newspaper reports that offices with "similar functions" will be moved into two new offices -- the Office of Resource Management, focused on administrative functions, and the Office of Science Integration and Policy, focused on science.

The Office of the Science Advisor provides science advise across EPA on policy development and implementation issues.  It houses two dozen employees and includes the agency's Scientific Integrity Office and the Science and Technology Policy Council.  The Office of Science Policy is responsible for incorporating ORD's science and technology efforts into EPA's regulations and policies.

Jennifer Orme-Zavaleta, Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator for Science and the current EPA Science Adviser, said in a statement that the plan was developed "to combine offices with similar functions in order to reduce redundancies in ORD operations."   She added, "ORD has briefed the Administrator on those plans and held a town hall in September to announce the result of their work and proposed plan to staff."  She indicated that the Senate-confirmed Assistant Administrator for ORD "has customarily served as the EPA Science Advisor which will continue to be the case."  The Administration has yet to nominate a Head for ORD.

The reorganization would also shutter the National Center for Environmental Research (NCER), which focuses on testing the effects of chemical exposure on adults and children.  NCER provides support through the Science To Achieve Results (STAR) program to the Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research Centers, which work on developing methods to reduce children's health risks from environmental factors.  The official said that "relevant functions" of NCER, including STAR grants management, will be merged with the new science office.

The scientific community views the reorganization as a move to diminish science advice within the agency.  According to Michael Halpern, Deputy Director of the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union for Concerned Scientists, "Any time you try to merge science and policy functions there tends to be confusion.  That's why a lot of the laws EPA implements like the Clean Air Act have separate sections for the science and the policy."  He added, "Muddying the waters makes it much easier for the science to be politicized or misrepresented."

The agency has yet to announce when the merger will occur and who will lead the new offices.  However, EPA told The Hill that there would be no reductions of full-time staff as a result of the reorganization.

Congress Averts Government Shutdown

The House has approved and sent a $853 billion spending bill to President Trump in an attempt to avert a partial government shutdown.  The spending package includes a stop-gap funding measure in the form of a continuing resolution (CR), which provides level funding for agencies that do not have new spending approved by October 1.

The House approved the "minibus" by a 361-61 vote on September 26.  The Senate had approved the bill a week earlier.  President Trump has agreed to sign the measure saying, "We're going to keep the government open."

The spending package includes fiscal year (FY) 2019 Defense, Labor-Health and Human Services, and Education spending bills along with the stop-gap CR.  The CR provides funding for Interior-EPA, Transportation-Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture and Financial Services, Commerce-Justice-Science, State-Foreign Operations, and Homeland Security, until December 7.  There will be a lame-duck session after the November elections to finish work on FY 2019 appropriations.

This is the second spending package that Congress has sent to the President.  The first included the Energy-Water, Military Construction-Veterans Affairs, and Legislative Branch spending bills for FY 2019 and was signed into law by President Trump on September 21.

HHS Launches Review of Fetal Tissue Research

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a statement on September 24, 2018 announcing that it has launched a review of all research and acquisitions involving human fetal tissue.  The agency, which funds through the National Institutes of Health a significant portion of U.S. biomedical research, indicated that it will look into adequate alternatives to the use of human fetal tissue in HHS funded research and will ensure that efforts to develop such alternatives are funded.

According to the statement, "HHS has initiated a comprehensive review of all research involving fetal tissue to ensure consistency with statutes and regulations governing such research, and to ensure the adequacy of procedures and oversight of this research in light of the serious regulatory, moral, and ethical considerations involved."

HHS has also terminated a contract with the company Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) of Alameda, California, which supplied fetal tissue to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for drug-testing research.  HHS cancelled the contract because it was "not sufficiently assured that the contract included the appropriate protections applicable to fetal tissue research or met all other procurement requirements."

FDA had awarded a one-year contract to ABR in July 2018.  Under the contract, the fetal tissue supplied by ABR would be implanted by FDA researchers into mice that lacked immune systems in order to develop human-like immune systems, which could then be used by the researchers to test the safety and efficacy of drugs.

The statement from HHS was released after 85 U.S. Representatives sent a letter<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=4aa7ed5a28&e=6708ed45cf> to FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb on September 17 expressing concerns that ABR may have violated laws by selling "the body parts of children" for a profit.  "The practice of conducting research using the body parts of children whose lives have been violently ended by abortion is abhorrent.  We urge you to cancel this contract immediately and to utilize alternative, modern scientific techniques that do not contribute to the trafficking in baby body parts," wrote the lawmakers.

The HHS statement does not provide any details about the review process, raising questions about its motivations.  Ross McKinney, Chief Scientific Officer of the Association of American Medical Colleges said, "Fetal tissue research is already subject to a robust ethical and legal framework and research that continues to meet those standards should be continued," according to Science.

According to Nature, Larry Goldstein, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Diego, said, "I think the question is whether there's an attempt to politicize this or whether we can keep to straight scientific and medical merit."  He added, "Scientists are simply asking, if you're going to throw the tissue away anyway, can you at least donate it to important medical research?"  Goldstein is concerned that such restrictions on fetal tissue research could harm research on human development and organ regeneration since it cannot be replaced with animal research.

NSF Announces New Sexual Harassment Policy

The National Science Foundation (NSF) announced a policy on September 19, 2018 that requires its 2,000 awardee institutions to report any sexual harassment findings starting October 21, 2018.  Under the new policy, universities would be required to notify the agency if any NSF-funded principal investigators or co-principal investigators have committed harassment, including sexual harassment and sexual assault, or have been placed on administrative leave due to such actions.

NSF will work with the awardee institution to determine the agency's action, which could include "substituting or removing principal investigators or co-principal investigators, reducing award funding, and -- where neither of those options is available or adequate -- suspending or terminating awards."

NSF proposed the policy earlier this year in February and invited public comments in an attempt to address rising concerns over sexual harassment in science.  Dr. France A. C?rdova, Director of NSF, said: "The NSF is committed to ensuring the safety and security of the people our awards support.  We are committed to a nurturing research environment.  One that is encouraging and supportive of all researchers.  We have heard the voices of the wider community and have responded.  We will continue to listen and to take action as a federal granting agency.  NSF has no tolerance for harassment."

More information on the new policy can be found here: https://www.nsf.gov/od/odi/harassment.jsp<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=eaab58be0c&e=6708ed45cf>

Scientific Societies Express Support for President's OSTP Director Nominee

Forty scientific societies, including the American Institute of Biological Sciences, have sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), expressing support for the President's nominee for the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).

The letter reads in part: "The President faces a wide range of domestic and international challenges, from protecting national and energy security, to ensuring U.S. economic competitiveness, curing diseases, bolstering agriculture and responding to natural disasters.  These challenges share one thing in common: the need for scientific knowledge and technological expertise to address them successfully."

The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation approved the nomination of Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier as the OSTP Director on September 5, along with James Morhard as Deputy Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The societies urged Senate leaders to quickly vote on the nomination.  "A swift confirmation process would allow the OSTP Director to quickly begin the vital work, with executive branch colleagues, of coordinating and determining effective ways to use science and technology to address major national challenges."

Researchers Use Gene Editing to Eliminate Mosquitoes in Lab

Researchers at the Imperial College London have demonstrated the use of gene drives to completely eliminate populations of mosquitoes known to transmit malaria.  Gene drives are a form of genetic engineering that involves spreading a gene or cluster of genes through a population.

The research, published in Nature Biotechnology<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=a1d636d7cd&e=6708ed45cf>, reported the eradication of confined populations of Anopheles gambiae by blocking female reproduction using the gene editing technique known as CRISPR.

Dr. Crisanti, the corresponding author on the study, said, "2016 marked the first time in over two decades that malaria cases did not fall year-on-year despite huge efforts and resources, suggesting we need more tools in the fight."

The research group will now test the technique on larger populations of mosquitoes under more real-world conditions by bringing into play competition for food and other ecological factors.

"It will still be at least 5-10 years before we consider testing any mosquitoes with gene drive in the wild, but now we have some encouraging proof that we're on the right path," said Crisanti.  "Gene drive solutions have the potential one day to expedite malaria eradication by overcoming the barriers of logistics in resource-poor countries."

NSF, Boeing Announce Partnership on Workforce Development and Diversity in STEM

The National Science Foundation (NSF) and Boeing have announced a $21 million partnership<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=1b6345ae60&e=6708ed45cf> to increase diversity and provide training in critical skills to the workforce in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.

Boeing will invest a total of $11 million, out of which $10 million will support NSF's development and implementation of online curricula at the community college, undergraduate, graduate and professional levels.  The remaining $1 million will be a gift to the NSF INCLUDES "Big Idea" initiative, which is focused on increasing the number of women in STEM fields.

Develop the Skills Required to Secure Employment
Registration is now open for the Employment Acquisition Skills Boot Camp for Scientists, a new professional development program by the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS).

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate programs in the United States do an excellent job of preparing students for careers in academia.  As students and a growing number of reports note, however, many STEM graduate students are interested in employment in a variety of sectors by the time they complete their degree.  Students continue to report that they feel ill-prepared and ill-equipped to pursue employment in these settings.

In response to this frustration heard from many graduate students, AIBS has developed a program to help scientists hone and practice the skills needed to secure employment.  AIBS's Employment Acquisition Skills Boot Camp for Scientists is an intensive, two-day program that is a blend of lecture and hands-on exercises.  Designed by scientists and a career coach, this program provides graduate students to senior scientists with the information, tools, and resources required to successfully identify and secure employment in a diversity of career pathways, including science policy, communications, program management, government, non-governmental organizations, international development, and others.

Course participants will:

  *   Identify career interests and opportunities;
  *   Learn to communicate their knowledge and skills to employers;
  *   Develop strategies for finding employment;
  *   Develop application materials;
  *   Prepare for and practice different interview styles and scenarios;
  *   Talk to scientists working in diverse employment settings and individuals responsible for making hiring decisions.
Current graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and scientists interested in transitioning to a new employment sector should consider signing up.

The program will be held in Washington, DC on December 17-18, 2018.  For more information and to register, visit https://www.aibs.org/events/employmentbootcamp.html<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=7a6a0b8988&e=6708ed45cf>.

AIBS Communications Boot Camp for Scientists: Only a Few Spots Remaining

The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) is offering a professional development program designed to enhance the communication skills of scientists, particularly those interested in communicating with decision-makers and the news media.

Short Takes

  *   Representative Francis Rooney (R-FL) has introduced a resolution that states the need to proactively plan and prepare for sea-level rise, hurricanes, and other climate change related risks.  Representative Rooney said that those risks are especially prevalent in his home state and that he introduced the resolution to "fire up necessary conversations about this pressing situation."
  *   The Senate Armed Services Committee has approved President Trump's nominee, Alex Beehler, to be the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment.  Beehler previously worked at the Pentagon as Assistant Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health.  He has also worked for the Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency and has served as the Director of Environmental and Regulatory Affairs for Koch Industries Inc.  Beehler said at his confirmation hearing that he "absolutely" agrees with Defense Secretary James Mattis that climate affects the military and national security.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Oct 9 Arctos Webinar - How Arctos handles Geographical
 Data (Part 1: Database Model)
Message-ID: <SN6PR03MB359839C86E5D1EFB89C6C572E0E80@SN6PR03MB3598.namprd03.prod.outlook.com>

Please join us next Tuesday, October 9th for the first webinar in a two-part series on Arctos geographical data.

Abstract:

In the first of two of our Geography webinars, we will focus on how the Arctos database models and organizes geographic information (including localities). We view Geography in Arctos as fundamental data that, together with a timestamp, adds critical value to a specimen or an observation; it is what transforms a preserved organism into a scientific specimen. However, geographic information is often not as easily recorded and standardized as, say, physical measurements. Arctos uses a series of tables to normalize as much as possible all geographic information that is shared among collections in Arctos while still allowing each collection control over georeferencing textual geographic descriptions of localities and allow sharing of common ones. We will demonstrate this data structure and how implementation of consistent geographical standards allows Arctos to offer the most useful locality data possible. If time allows, we will discuss work in progress and future goals for geographical data in Arctos.

In the second part of our Geography webinars (Part II: November 13th), we will focus on Georeferencing and best practices of locality management. Stay tuned.

Presenters: Michelle Koo (GIS & Biodiversity Informatics Curator, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology) and Tom Giermakowski (Sr. Collection Manager, Division of Amphibians and Reptiles, Museum of Southwestern Biology)

To follow up on this, do any of you have thoughts on fluoride? Our local water supply is quite clean, and is treated primarily with UV, but chlorine is also used and is distributed throughout the pipes. I assume that?s pretty normal and allowing the water to sit for a day should allow most of the chlorine to evaporate. However, fluoride is also added to the water (at a level of 0.7mg/L). Other contaminates are very low. Any thoughts on whether or not I should worry about the fluoride?

Cheers,

Tonya

In support of Dirk (below): For small and thin-shelled mollusks destilled water is horrible. After a few years you have no shell left. Here in Denmark our tap-water is deep ground water, and Denmark is built on cretaceous chalk. Under those conditions I use tap water and with good results.

Subject: Re: [Nhcoll-l] What water to use with spirit specimens

Hi Tonya,

this depends on the quality of your tap water; if your tap water uses chemicals such as Cl2 or others for purification, or such chemicals are used occasionally in the pipe system to prevent microbial growth, you should test your water first or request this data from your local water supplier. Also, if your tap water is known to have low ion-loads (e.g. because of respective filters or other mechanical purification by your water supplier), the desired effect might be marginal.

What Simon describes is sedimentation (mainly) of carbonates; if you use tap water, the mixture needs to rest for one day until the alcohol can be used, because the shifts in the solubility equilibrium will cause precipitation of ions.

If these are mainly carbonates (cf. data of your local water supplier), that the minerals can be suited to stabilise the specimens inside jars or to buffer against pH-shift. However, we know little about the ion activity of hydrogen-ions in alcohol mixtures and their effect on pH-shifts and measuring of the pH in alcohol mixtures is a tricky task (the only reliable way would be titration).

On the other hand, distilled or bi-distilled water attracts CO2 from the surrounding air and leads to pH values of 5 or lower in freshly distilled water.

So there are pros and cons. We have very good and pure tap water here in our museum, and I have been using tap water for nearly 20 years without any negative results.

Hope this helps
Dirk

Hi Tonya, I have found it okay to use tap for diluting formalin whereas alcohol produces a precipitate with tap so I use deionised or RO for diluting alcohol.

Hello all,

I?ve been thinking about the best water to use for diluting ETOH down to 70% for storing formalin-preserved vertebrates.  Early on I was taught to only every use deionised water, to avoid the introduction of other chemicals, impurities, etc. However,  I have recently heard that using good quality tap water may be in fact better than deionised/demineralised water, as deionised water is not in a stable state and so can in fact pull minerals out of the specimen. I would love to hear what other people use and what your thoughts may be on this. Thanks!

Cheers,

Tonya

Hi all,

Please excuse the cross posting.



Has anyone heard of "Wife's Pride".  My best guess is that this product was marketed as some kind of a wood preservative or coating in the 1950's (give or take). Our records show that the product was used on an archaeological wooden object at our museum. We are currently doing analysis and would like to track this product down, in part to see how it might compromise the original surface.


I also found the research that a previous conservator did on the product.  Her notes (hard to read) indicate she checked "Chemical Formulary handbook of material trade names" (1953) and  the "Handbook  of Chemical synonyms and trade names".  There is a note stating "US Gortdocs Microprint (?) 1957 - no. 9826  MIL-S-13518B April 8 1957. Military Specification, Sealer, surface, wood preservative."  This is all of the information we have. Finally there is a poor copy of a newspaper article dating to 1958 with someone with a paint brush and a can of dark liquid - the caption states that this is a new wood preservative being used on this object.  I am trying to track down the original photograph to see it more clearly!



Any thoughts or leads would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Seems like a product worthy of your interest / concern / safety.

Hi all,
Please excuse the cross posting.

Has anyone heard of "Wife's Pride".  My best guess is that this product was marketed as some kind of a wood preservative or coating in the 1950's (give or take). Our records show that the product was used on an archaeological wooden object at our museum. We are currently doing analysis and would like to track this product down, in part to see how it might compromise the original surface.

I also found the research that a previous conservator did on the product.  Her notes (hard to read) indicate she checked ?Chemical Formulary handbook of material trade names? (1953) and  the ?Handbook  of Chemical synonyms and trade names?.  There is a note stating ?US Gortdocs Microprint (?) 1957 ? no. 9826  MIL-S-13518B April 8 1957. Military Specification, Sealer, surface, wood preservative.?  This is all of the information we have. Finally there is a poor copy of a newspaper article dating to 1958 with someone with a paint brush and a can of dark liquid ? the caption states that this is a new wood preservative being used on this object.  I am trying to track down the original photograph to see it more clearly!

Any thoughts or leads would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] TOMORROW - Oct 9 Arctos Webinar - How Arctos handles
 Geographical Data (Part 1: Database Model)
Message-ID: <SN6PR03MB35980EAF0F47259EC00C73DEE0E60@SN6PR03MB3598.namprd03.prod.outlook.com>

Please join us TOMORRROW, October 9th for the first webinar in a two-part series on Arctos geographical data.

Abstract:

In the first of two of our Geography webinars, we will focus on how the Arctos database models and organizes geographic information (including localities). We view Geography in Arctos as fundamental data that, together with a timestamp, adds critical value to a specimen or an observation; it is what transforms a preserved organism into a scientific specimen. However, geographic information is often not as easily recorded and standardized as, say, physical measurements. Arctos uses a series of tables to normalize as much as possible all geographic information that is shared among collections in Arctos while still allowing each collection control over georeferencing textual geographic descriptions of localities and allow sharing of common ones. We will demonstrate this data structure and how implementation of consistent geographical standards allows Arctos to offer the most useful locality data possible. If time allows, we will discuss work in progress and future goals for geographical data in Arctos.

In the second part of our Geography webinars (Part II: November 13th), we will focus on Georeferencing and best practices of locality management.

Presenters: Michelle Koo (GIS & Biodiversity Informatics Curator, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology) and Tom Giermakowski (Sr. Collection Manager, Division of Amphibians and Reptiles, Museum of Southwestern Biology)

Subject: Applicant Briefings on the Public Assistance Program

Dear HENTF delegates,

Please forward this time-sensitive announcement to your members and constituents in North Carolina.

Private nonprofit cultural institutions and arts organizations that have been impacted by Hurricane Florence may be eligible for federal disaster assistance through FEMA?s Public Assistance (PA) Program. The PA process begins with an Applicant Briefing, which provides a high-level overview of the program. The briefing will discuss application procedures, project funding, record keeping, requirements, and the online portal PA Grants Manager. While attendance is not mandatory, cultural stewards should make every effort to attend an Applicant Briefing.

There are currently 28 disaster-declared counties: Beaufort, Bladen, Brunswick, Carteret, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Duplin, Greene, Harnett, Hoke, Hyde, Johnston, Jones, Lee, Lenoir, Moore, New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Pender, Pitt, Richmond, Robeson, Sampson, Scotland, Wayne, and Wilson. Additional counties are being assessed for damages and will be considered for addition to the federal declaration. If your institution is located in one of the above-listed counties, you are strongly encouraged to attend an Applicant Briefing at one of the dates/locations listed below.

Advance registration is recommended. Please send an email to public.assistance at ncdps.gov<mailto:public.assistance at ncdps.gov>, noting the name and location of your institution and the date/location of the Applicant Briefing you wish to attend. If you have any questions, include them in your email.


Houses of Worship owned or operated by private nonprofit organizations may now be eligible applicants for financial assistance for repair or replacement of facilities damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Florence. Please forward this email to cultural and religious stewards in your community.

Subject: Hurricane Michael preparedness tips to distribute

Dear HENTF members,

Unfortunately, it's too late to send the following preparedness tips to Florida state agencies and state associations. That's the problem with hurricanes that spin up rapidly over a three-day weekend. Let's hope our Florida colleagues are already in the final stages of individual preparedness and/or are evacuating in advance of Wednesday's landfall.

Please distribute the following to your colleagues, members, and constituents in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. While the projected impact in those states is uncertain at this time, cultural institutions and arts organizations should take the time now to ensure that their hurricane preparedness measures are in place. A version of these tips appears on the HENTF web page https://culturalrescue.si.edu/hentf/resources/planning-preparedness-and-mitigation-resources/.


Be Prepared!

As Hurricane Michael approaches the Florida Panhandle, prepare now for possible strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding when the storm moves inland:


*         Track the storm via the National Hurricane Center, http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/.

*         Monitor information via your state emergency management agency:

o   Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security on the GEMA/HS website (http://www.gema.ga.gov/), Facebook (@GEMA.OHS), and Twitter (@GeorgiaEMA)

o   South Carolina Emergency Management Division on the SCEMD website (https://www.scemd.org/), Facebook (@SCEMD), and Twitter (@SCEMD)

o   North Carolina Department of Public Safety on the NC DPS website (https://www.ncdps.gov/), Facebook (@NCEmergency), and Twitter (@NCEmergency)

*         Gather your staff and review your disaster plan today. No disaster plan? Put that at the top of the to-do list once the hurricane passes (and hope you didn't need it this time).

*         If you have a disaster plan, make sure everyone has a printed copy to take home. An electronic version may be useless if you lose power.

*         Make sure staff, volunteer, and board contact lists are up to date. Determine how you will communicate with one another before, during, and after the storm.

*         Make sure your insurance and disaster recovery vendor contact information is readily available.

*         If you don't already have up-to-date images (photographic/video) of your facility's exterior and interior, including storage areas, now's the time to take them. Being able to illustrate how your building and collections looked before damage will be helpful if the need arises to pursue recovery financing.

*         Back up electronic records and store the back-ups off-site or in the cloud.

*         Secure outdoor furniture, bike racks, book drops, etc. - anything that can become a projectile in strong winds.

*         Move collections that are in areas vulnerable to flooding - i.e., the floor, the basement - or susceptible to rain - near windows or under roofs.

*         If you have time, cut lengths of plastic sheeting to be able to throw them over shelves or equipment should the building envelope be compromised.

*         Know the location and shut-off procedures for water, electricity, and gas.

*         Review individual or family plans. You'll feel better attending to your organization knowing that your loved ones are safe.

*         For tips on what to do before, during, and after a hurricane, go to https://www.ready.gov/hurricanes.

*         Keep this 24/7 hotline number handy: 202.661.8068. The National Heritage Responders, a team of trained conservators and collections care professionals, are available 24/7 to provide advice.

*         Download FEMA fact sheets "After the Flood: Advice for Salvaging Damaged Family Treasures" and "Salvaging Water-Damaged Family Valuables and Heirlooms," available at https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/113297.

*         Familiarize yourself with the disaster declaration process in case one is declared for your state, https://www.fema.gov/disaster-declaration-process.

Thank you,
Lori

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Postdoctoral Research Position in Biodiversity
 Informatics at Arizona State University
Message-ID: <CALZMeknFXFnnaquGoYDu=TtOPCmHGq8GMDVUcdx6bZX1CPp70Q@mail.gmail.com>

The Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center (BioKIC) at Arizona State
University (ASU) invites applications for a postdoctoral research scholar
position in biodiversity informatics. The position is
part of a new Biodiversity Data Science Initiative launched at ASU and led
by Beckett Sterner and Nico Franz. The initiative will focus on building an
innovative web platform that leverages
theoretical advancements and prototype software for taxonomic concept
alignment (https://doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syw023), with the goal to
establish a scalable taxonomic intelligence service
that will carry value for scientific audiences, science publishers,
government agencies, and environmental consulting firms. The platform will
accelerate the growth of high-quality, reproducible
biological data by driving the adoption of taxonomic intelligence metadata
in scientific datasets and journals. This postdoctoral research scholar
position will focus on developing a web-based
taxonomic intelligence platform and innovating better solutions for
knowledge representation and reasoning at scale.

for example, knowledge representation
(e.g., RDF) and machine reasoning (e.g., Answer Set Programming), data
search, management, knowledge graphs, visualization, and software
development, with knowledge of biological
systematics being highly beneficial. Technical proficiency in full-stack
programming is critical (HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, as well as
NoSQL). The ability to select technologies, and
rapidly iterate on the implementation of a high-quality, functional and
scalable system is preferred. Mentoring of students and co-/authorship of
peer-reviewed publications, presentations, and of
research proposals, will be strongly encouraged.

We are committed to open science and an inclusive, equitable, and
team-oriented work environment that promotes the candidate's career and

thereafter until the search is closed. The start date is flexible, with a
preference for January 1, 2019.

Salary is commensurate with experience, with a range of $55,000 to 75,000
annually, plus ASU benefits, for exceptionally well-qualified applicants.
Reasonable relocation funds are available.

The State of North Carolina (NC) has received a federal disaster declaration for Public Assistance (PA) Category A (Debris Removal) and Category B (Emergency Protective Measures) for 28 counties in eastern and central NC.  The declaration date is September 14, 2018, with an event incident period of September 7, 2018 and continuing.  The disaster number is FEMA-4393-DR-NC, and includes the following counties: Beaufort, Bladen, Brunswick, Carteret, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Duplin, Greene, Harnett, Hoke, Hyde, Johnston, Jones, Lee, Lenoir, Moore, New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Pender, Pitt, Richmond, Robeson, Sampson, Scotland, Wayne, and Wilson.  Additional counties are being assessed for damages and will be considered to become part of this declaration.

The first step in the process is for all potentially eligible Public Assistance (PA) Applicants (e.g., local governments, state agencies, private non-profits (PNPs), tribal organizations) in declared counties to attend an Applicant Briefing at one of the dates/locations listed above.  At the briefing, potential applicants will receive an overview of the Public Assistance program/process, any event-specific details, and instructions on how to submit the "Request for Public Assistance (RPA)," including PNP documents, the online PA Grants Portal.

The new PA Grants Portal will offer the Applicant the opportunity to review, manage, sign (e-signature), submit documentation for project worksheets, and provide full transparency of project status.  The RPA is the application required to become an eligible applicant in order to receive reimbursement for eligible response and recovery costs incurred as a direct result of Hurricane Florence.  For those unable to attend the Applicant Briefing, they may inquire about the PA Grants Portal by emailing public.assistance at ncdps.gov<mailto:public.assistance at ncdps.gov>.


Houses of Worship (HOWs) owned or operated by private nonprofits (PNPs) organizations may now be eligible applicants for financial assistance for repair or replacement of facilities damaged or destroyed as a result of Hurricane Florence.

Upon receipt of the RPA and FEMA's approval of the application, FEMA will then begin conducting Exploratory Calls with each Applicant to begin discussing damages and schedule a Recovery Scoping Meeting (RSM) to continue to identify all eligible damages and costs for each Applicant and begin project formulation for reimbursement.

Please be advised that this list will be updated as the Counties are available for the Briefings.  Thank you for assisting with the outreach.  Please plan to attend an Applicant Briefing in your county to ensure that each applicant is accounted for in that county.

Recently the museum I work at received a donation of fossils with matrices
that have turned blue . The donor has said that they were stored in a dark,
dry basement in paper towel/plain newsprint and were not treated with
anything. Some of it looks like accretion while some of it appears to be
the matrix itself and they do not fluoresce under short or long wave UV
light.

Has anyone seen this before or know what may have caused it?

This looks like it could be fire smudging, areas of reduction where the
sherds came close to a strong heat source, usually during firing. I am
wondering if the donor has earlier images of these sherds where these
"stains" are not present?

Hi, Katie,


This is what EDA was made for. The machine you need is an SEM with EDA (Energy Dispersive Analysis). That will give you a spectrum that identifies the elements present in the blue stain. In particular, you need an Environmental SEM. These use a partial pressure of nitrogen in place of carbon coating the specimen. Obviously for these fossils, you don't want to carbon coat them.


I would start with the shards that don't have fossils. 15 kV is a good place to start for accelerating voltage. That covers the excitation energy for most of the periodic chart. With this color blue, I suspect that copper is involved. But there are so many different transition metals that could contribute, you really need to measure and not guess.


Once you have a chemical analysis, then you can start to investigate proper means to curate the material.


Feel free to contact me to discuss it if you like.


Cheers,

Chris

I don't think I've seen this posted here yet.  This was shared on the Natural History Collections Facebook page, and I'm passing it along on behalf of Dr. Meg Daly of The Ohio State University Museum of Biological Diversity.

"As part of an effort to understand how to reinvigorate and support monographic research, Felipe Zapata and I have built a survey to document contemporary practices in making and using monographs. We'd love to know what you think and do!

Tell us here: https://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8xoMcDx6hJXw49D

The survey is short, voluntary, and records no personal or identifying information."

Attention GSA 2018 attendees!

Hi everyone,
If you are going to the Geological Society of America meeting in Indianapolis, November 3-7, please consider helping engage attendees at the SPNHC Membership Booth in the GSA Exhibit Hall (Booth #228).

You can sign up here: SPNHC Membership Booth, GSA 2018<https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080D4AAAAA2BA57-spnhc6>

I am especially looking for volunteers to:

-          Take delivery of the booth, take it to the Convention Center and set it up (I can have it delivered to your hotel and reimburse cab fare)

-          Be the contact person for the booth for the duration of the meeting

-          Take the booth down at the end of the meeting and ship it to me (I can reimburse any transportation fees and prepare a FedEx shipping label)

The booth is in a shipping container with wheels and weighs 55lbs.

If you're not going to GSA but are interested in having the booth displayed at your upcoming conference, let me know!

Thanks in advance for your help.

AIBS Helps AERC Brief Lawmakers

The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) helped the Association of Ecosystem Research Centers (AERC) brief lawmakers about the role of ecosystem science in securing freshwater resources, including information about saltwater intrusion and the availability of small sources of freshwater across landscapes.  The speakers discussed the ramifications of recent and potential changes to the Clean Water Rule, and the current efforts underway in using ecosystems science to restore and protect ecosystems in the California Delta and the Greater Everglades.

AIBS also provided AERC members with communications and policy training and helped organize meetings for AERC members with lawmakers.  The briefing was attended by congressional aides, Federal agency staff, Congressional Research Service staff, and representatives of scientific and non-governmental organizations.

Interior Announces ?Open Science? Policy

The Department of the Interior (DOI) has adopted a new policy it contends will improve transparency and public access to scientific research.  The ?open science? order<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=721ef83562&e=6708ed45cf> was signed by Deputy Interior Secretary David Bernhardt on September 28, 2018.  Similar to the Environmental Protection Agency?s (EPA) proposed rule<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=0fc0156e3d&e=6708ed45cf> ?Increasing Transparency in Regulatory Science,? DOI?s order requires that scientific data used in policy decisions be reproducible and made publicly accessible.

?Any decision that is based on scientific conclusions that are not supported by publicly available raw data, analysis, or methodology, have not been peer reviewed, or are not readily reproducible should include an explanation of why such science is the best available information,? states the order.  Interior officials said that the policy would boost public confidence in the agency?s decision-making and increase accountability.

?This order came about in response to perennial concerns that the department has not been providing sufficient information to the public to explain how and why it reaches certain conclusions, or that it is cherry picking science to support pre-determined outcomes,? said Interior spokesperson Faith Vander Voort.  ?The goal is for the department to play with its cards face-up, so that the American people can see how the department is analyzing important public policy issues and be confident that it is using the best information available to inform its decisions.?

The order could restrict how DOI agencies use certain research findings and will set new data disclosure requirements for Interior grant recipients.

The new order allows for exceptions and states that the data requirements may be ?waived, in whole or in part, by the Deputy Secretary upon a written determination that a waiver is necessary and the least restrictive means of protecting privacy, confidentiality, including confidential business information and trade secrets; national security, and homeland security.?

The order has been criticized as a move to restrict the use of scientific findings in decision-making at Interior.  ?The ?Promoting Open Science? order signed on Friday should be named the ?Removing Science from DOI' order, as it simply slashes agencies? ability to rely on, conduct and analyze science under a pretense of increased transparency,? said Tina Swanson, Director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's Science Center.

?They want everything publicly accessible, including the raw data, and that just doesn?t happen with peer-reviewed science, because that just doesn?t tell you anything,? said Charise Johnson, a researcher at the Union of Concerned Scientists.  ?It also makes it look like they don?t trust their own scientists? work.?

Unlike the EPA?s proposed ?secret science? rule, which involved a public comment period, DOI?s order became effective immediately.

UN Report Issues Warning on Climate Change

The United Nation's (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have issued a new climate change report that warns about unprecedented temperature increase between 2030 and 2052 if global warming continues.

IPCC is an international consortium of leading scientists from 40 countries that assesses the science related to climate change.  These assessments are intended to provide a scientific basis for governments at all levels to develop climate-related policies.

The IPCC report<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=d9ddbe4c7e&e=6708ed45cf> was mandated after a 2015 U.N. summit, where the Paris climate accord was signed.  The agreement set a goal of keeping global warming to less than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to further limit temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.  The new report sets a more ambitious 1.5 degrees as the safe limit.

For this report, the IPCC reviewed 6,000 scientific studies to assess the difference between a 1.5 degrees Celsius increase in global temperatures and a two degree increase.  According to the findings, a two degrees Celsius increase could have significantly larger impacts on ecosystems, human health, and well-being, with small islands and developing countries being the most vulnerable.  The report predicts that there could be global food shortages, significant flooding of coastal areas, and an unprecedented refugee crisis by 2040.

?Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees compared to 2 degrees would reduce the number of people exposed to climate-related risks and susceptible to poverty by up to several hundred millions by 2050,? said Hans-Otto Portner, a co-author of the report and co-Chair of the IPCC's Working Group II.

The report suggests that it is still possible to avoid the disastrous consequences of warming if immediate and aggressive action is taken.  Earth is currently one degree Celsius above the baseline and maintaining safe levels would require ?rapid and far-reaching transitions? to the world economy.  The global greenhouse gas emissions would need to be cut by 45 percent by 2030 and the world would need to become carbon-neutral by 2050.

The report?s warnings have been dismissed by Republican lawmakers.  Senate Environment and Public Works Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY) suggested that the findings are misinterpreted and exaggerated.  ?I think that they continue to use scare tactics ? those efforts are what we see in this report,? said Barrasso.  Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK), a known climate-science denier, called the IPCC ?prejudiced.?  He added that the U.N. was ?formed to sell this in the first place.?

The White House also brushed aside the report?s findings with the assertion that the country?s emissions have dropped since 2005.  ?From 2005 to 2017, U.S. CO2-related emissions declined by 14 percent while global energy-related CO2 emissions rose by 21 percent during the same time?This has been possible through the development and large-scale deployment of new, affordable, and cleaner technologies to capitalize on our energy abundance,? said White House spokesperson Lindsay Walters.

NASEM Report: NASA Should Expand Astrobiology Research

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) recommends that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) should expand its astrobiology research missions to advance the search for life in the universe.  The call was issued in a new report, ?An Astrobiology Strategy for the Search of Life in the Universe?.

According to the report, ?NASA should support research on a broader range of biosignatures and environments, and incorporate the field of astrobiology into all stages of future exploratory missions.?  Biosignatures are the lines of evidence used by researchers to search for current and past life on Earth and beyond.

?An updated, more sophisticated catalog and framework will be important to enhance our ability to detect both life that might be similar to terrestrial life, and potential life that differs from life as we know it.  The latter will be enabled by investigating novel ?agnostic? biosignatures ? signs of life that are not tied to a particular metabolism or molecular ?blueprint,? or other characteristics of life as we currently know it,? reads the press release.

The report also indicated that an interdisciplinary approach to astrobiology would produce a better understanding of life on Earth and other planets and urged NASA to work towards reducing any barriers to collaborative research.  Collaborations with private, philanthropic, and international organizations, including international space agencies, would also be crucial for such research.

The congressionally mandated reported was supported by funding from NASA.  Read the report: https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25252/an-astrobiology-strategy-for-the-search-for-life-in-the-universe<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=b010911831&e=6708ed45cf>

Develop the Skills Required to Secure Employment
Registration is now open for the Employment Acquisition Skills Boot Camp for Scientists, a new professional development program by the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS).

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate programs in the United States do an excellent job of preparing students for careers in academia.  As students and a growing number of reports note, however, many STEM graduate students are interested in employment in a variety of sectors by the time they complete their degree.  Students continue to report that they feel ill-prepared and ill-equipped to pursue employment in these settings.

In response to this frustration heard from many graduate students, AIBS has developed a program to help scientists hone and practice the skills needed to secure employment.  AIBS's Employment Acquisition Skills Boot Camp for Scientists is an intensive, two-day program that is a blend of lecture and hands-on exercises.  Designed by scientists and a career coach, this program provides graduate students to senior scientists with the information, tools, and resources required to successfully identify and secure employment in a diversity of career pathways, including science policy, communications, program management, government, non-governmental organizations, international development, and others.

Course participants will:

  *   Identify career interests and opportunities;
  *   Learn to communicate their knowledge and skills to employers;
  *   Develop strategies for finding employment;
  *   Develop application materials;
  *   Prepare for and practice different interview styles and scenarios;
  *   Talk to scientists working in diverse employment settings and individuals responsible for making hiring decisions.
Current graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and scientists interested in transitioning to a new employment sector should consider signing up.

The program will be held in Washington, DC on December 17-18, 2018.  For more information and to register, visit https://www.aibs.org/events/employmentbootcamp.html<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=c512aae7c0&e=6708ed45cf>.

Enhance your Interdisciplinary and Team Science Skills

Reports abound from professional societies, the Academies, government agencies, and researchers calling attention to the fact that science is increasingly an interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, inter-institutional, and international endeavor. In short, science has become a ?team sport.?

There is a real and present need to better prepare scientists for success in this new collaborative environment. The American Institute of Biological Sciences is responding to this call with a new program for scientists, educators, and individuals who work with or participate in scientific teams.

Team science is increasingly common in 21st century biological, life, and environmental sciences. Collaboration is no longer limited to sharing ideas with the biologist in the lab next door. The questions confronting science often require teams that may include a mix of computer and information scientists, physical and social scientists, mathematicians, ethicists, policy and management experts, as well as community stakeholders and citizen scientists. Adding to this complexity, teams span programs within organizations, cross organization boundaries to form institutional consortia, and often include international partners.

This intensive, two-day, interactive, professional development course was designed by scientists and experts on collaboration and teamwork to provide participants with the knowledge and skills required to become productive and effective members of scientific teams. From its first offering the course has evolved to include a greater focus on team planning and teamwork, and less time allocated to university administration of interdisciplinary teams.

Nothing teaches collaboration like practicing collaboration. This is not a course that asks you to learn in isolation. It is a microcosm of scientific collaboration, with extensive hands-on learning as part of a scientific team, with scientific case studies and examples.

This course is designed for anyone involved in collaborative scientific endeavors. Team leaders will find the course especially helpful. Because participants will work on ?real-world? team science concerns, we encourage multiple members of a team to attend together. We can also customize the course and bring it to your university, department, lab, or research team. This course provides the right foundation from which your team can successfully accomplish your goals.

The program will be held on January 14-15, 2019 in Washington DC.  Learn more at https://www.aibs.org/events/team_science_event.html<https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=00d34f7bbf&e=6708ed45cf>.

Short Takes

  *   President Trump has signed a bipartisan bill to address the problem of trash in oceans.  The ?Save Our Seas Act? reauthorizes and amends the Marine Debris Act and extends the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s (NOAA) Marine Debris Program through fiscal year 2022.  The bill promotes international action to reduce trash in oceans and gives the NOAA Administrator the authority to declare severe marine debris events.  The legislation was co-sponsored by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), James Inhofe (R-OK), and Bill Nelson (D-FL).
  *   David Dunlop, a former Koch Industries chemical engineer, has been appointed to lead the Environmental Protection Agency?s (EPA) Office of Research and Development as Deputy Chief.  The position does not require Senate confirmation.  Dunlop, who worked for Koch Industries for more than eight years, will replace Richard Yamada, a former staff member on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
  *   According to a report by The Hill newspaper, the Department of the Interior (DOI) fired, suspended, or reprimanded more than 1,500 employees on grounds of harassment or misconduct between 2017 and 2018.  Interior Deputy Secretary David Bernhardt stated that this was part of the department?s effort to enforce accountability.  In October 2017, DOI had announced a plan to address sexual harassment within the National Park Service, where almost 40 percent of the employees had reported instances of harassment in the previous year.  A December 2017 survey suggested that 35 percent of DOI employees were either harassed or discriminated against in the year before.
  *   The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources has advanced legislation that would permanently reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).  The bill was introduced by Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Richard Burr (R-NC).   Similar legislation was approved by the House Committee on Natural Resources in September 2018.  Authorization for LWCF expired on September 30 but Congress has approved $487.6 million for the program in fiscal year 2018.  LWCF was established in 1964 to use revenues from offshore oil and gas to support the conservation of land and water resources.

Sarah

We have been using a Datamax i-Class Mark II for about 5 years now and have had no issues.  I do not have any experience with other makes but we did have an old Datamax Prodigy Max 300 before that for about 10 years that also served us well.

In terms of features for printing labels for alcoholic collections make sure that you get the 300dpi printer (600dpi is overkill) so as to get good quality labels.  Also ensure that you get the spun bound polyester media as sold by Alpha Systems as well as the SDR 5+ resin ribbon for best results in alcohol.  The optional cutter is worth the investment if you are going to be printing lots of labels or will be networking the printer for multiple divisions/people to share.  The network card is also optional so if you want to print from multiple machines or offices then that is a must.

The print heads are very susceptible to dust and debris so a clean area for the printer is advisable as well as ensuring that the media is wrapped in plastic on delivery and until use.  There are some other tweaks and settings I would suggest once you have it set up but I can fill you in on those later.

Attached is the spec sheet and pricing from Alpha Systems on printers (with options), media and ribbons if you are interested.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Datamax I-Class Mark II printer recommendations

We will be purchasing a new Datamax I-Class Mark II thermal transfer printer, and there a quite a few models on the market with lots of different features and customizations. If you have any recommendations, good or bad, on specific models or features, I would appreciate any input.

Thanks,
Sarah

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Elephant Tusk Storage
Message-ID: <CAAX_DLtYQBBhGW9nXCPe6Qay+KGpC=A-pTsVs-b=rWrvDqY+pw@mail.gmail.com>

 Collections Folks:

We are amidst several rehousing projects within our Vertebrate Zoology
collection. The project in question regards an assortment of large elephant
tusks. The tusks are of varying lengths, widths, and curvature. We are
looking to store these tusks in a more space-efficient manner, and we would
find it most helpful to learn how other institutions have housed similar
collections.

If you are comfortable sharing photos of your recommended storage method
along with your description, we would find it especially constructive.

Thank you for your time and consideration!


Cheers,

Paige

Please, conservators and curators who have type specimens in your wet
collections. How do you label them? A red label inside etanol solution is
not a good idea, but types must to be marked in some way. Is it wright to
use a regular fluid -white- label and write ?type? beside the specimen?s
name? Maybe also draw a red square in the outside surface of the glass?
Thanks for your contributions,

One traditional method that has been used here is to tie a red ribbon around the neck of the jar. As this doesn?t involve ink or paint, it is very suitable for wet collections.

Here?s our method using thermal transfer labels:

And for redundancy, this is the cap, marked with wax pencil:

Personally, I am not a fan of symbols (e.g., color-coded ribbons or stickers, etc.) as their meaning is only known to the person(s) who created and others must access some sort of legend or key to obtain the same level of comprehension. Plus these symbols tend to vary among institutions. Whereas there is nothing ambiguous about ?holotype.?

Best,

Rob

Please, conservators and curators who have type specimens in your wet collections. How do you label them? A red label inside etanol solution is not a good idea, but types must to be marked in some way. Is it wright to use a regular fluid -white- label and write ?type? beside the specimen?s name? Maybe also draw a red square in the outside surface of the glass?

You could also use a red (or other color) lid for types.

There have been a number of coloring conventions for dots on labels and jars over the years - green for "cited voucher", blue for "figured specimen" etc - but red for "type" has been in pretty consistent use for over a century. I've seen it in collections all over the world.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Develop the Skills Required to Secure Employment
Message-ID: <CAOuC=0GqiUZRCBCtqt2j4Nf5=vvoFnv=Baz9nTE3BmuzsqFVYA@mail.gmail.com>

Registration is now open for the Employment Acquisition Skills Boot Camp
for Scientists, a new professional development program by the American
Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS).

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate programs
in the United States do an excellent job of preparing students for careers
in academia. As students and a growing number of reports note, however,
many STEM graduate students are interested in employment in a variety of
sectors by the time they complete their degree. Students continue to report
that they feel ill-prepared and ill-equipped to pursue employment in these
settings.

In response to this frustration heard from many graduate students, AIBS has
developed a program to help scientists hone and practice the skills needed
to secure employment. AIBS?s Employment Acquisition Skills Boot Camp for
Scientists is an intensive, two-day program that is a blend of lecture and
hands-on exercises. Designed by scientists and a career coach, this program
provides graduate students to senior scientists with the information,
tools, and resources required to successfully identify and secure
employment in a diversity of career pathways, including science policy,
communications, program management, government, non-governmental
organizations, international development, and others.

Course participants will:

   - Identify career interests and opportunities;
   - Learn to communicate their knowledge and skills to employers;
   - Develop strategies for finding employment;
   - Develop application materials;
   - Prepare for and practice different interview styles and scenarios;
   - Talk to scientists working in diverse employment settings and
   individuals responsible for making hiring decisions.

Current graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and scientists interested
in transitioning to a new employment sector should consider signing up.

The program will be held in Washington, DC on December 17-18, 2018.  The
deadline to register is November 13, 2018.

For more information and to register, visit

Yes, we do the same.  We have an indication on the label of type status and then tie red ribbons for Holotypes and blue ribbons for Paratypes around the neck of the jar.  We simply use 3/8? satin ribbon from Walmart or most fabric stores sell it too - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Double-Faced-Satin-Ribbon-3-8-inch-50-yard-Royal-Blue/144803690

Much the same here: we use thermal label with type status written out but our slight variation is using red electrical tape wrapped around the neck of the jar instead of cloth ribbon. It?s easy to apply, very durable, never slips, and can be written on with permanent marker if desired. Even repeated incidental alcohol exposure doesn?t seem to bother the tape. We simply use red for all types, rather than keep a blue roll for paratypes.

Yes, we do the same.  We have an indication on the label of type status and then tie red ribbons for Holotypes and blue ribbons for Paratypes around the neck of the jar.  We simply use 3/8? satin ribbon from Walmart or most fabric stores sell it too - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Double-Faced-Satin-Ribbon-3-8-inch-50-yard-Royal-Blue/144803690<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.walmart.com_ip_Double-2DFaced-2DSatin-2DRibbon-2D3-2D8-2Dinch-2D50-2Dyard-2DRoyal-2DBlue_144803690&d=DwMGaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=MyIvqzScKXYjpQg3UfHt59ZUli2wK7vUwPi7gR03K7E&m=F6n_c6l7-cKtaUUfVDDQ5y2e5jaf_lR7Tp3WdeKWTH4&s=9JKHJOhK3LHGEwsNz3bMkJN9-Rf7ncrIrsfVGNNAnNk&e=>

One traditional method that has been used here is to tie a red ribbon around the neck of the jar. As this doesn?t involve ink or paint, it is very suitable for wet collections.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Labels for type specimens in etanol

Please, conservators and curators who have type specimens in your wet collections. How do you label them? A red label inside etanol solution is not a good idea, but types must to be marked in some way. Is it wright to use a regular fluid -white- label and write ?type? beside the specimen?s name? Maybe also draw a red square in the outside surface of the glass?
Thanks for your contributions,
Marta

The adhesive on electrical tape is not stable beyond decades; it either hardens up or becomes very slimy, depending on the formula.

One traditional method that has been used here is to tie a red ribbon around the neck of the jar. As this doesn?t involve ink or paint, it is very suitable for wet collections.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Labels for type specimens in etanol

Please, conservators and curators who have type specimens in your wet collections. How do you label them? A red label inside etanol solution is not a good idea, but types must to be marked in some way. Is it wright to use a regular fluid -white- label and write ?type? beside the specimen?s name? Maybe also draw a red square in the outside surface of the glass?
Thanks for your contributions,
Marta

 Biorepository Invertebrate Collections Manager
Message-ID: <CALZMek=ckKro8WZpa51SOTtbHFLnBNUEeJzNJ_midEVJaDMEag@mail.gmail.com>

Inquiries strongly encouraged.

----------

The Arizona State University (ASU) School of Life Sciences is seeking an
Invertebrate Collections Manager for the National Ecological Observatory
Network Biorepository (NEON). This project is expected to run for 30 years.
For each project year, the NEON Biorepository at ASU will receive, process,
store, and make available for research an average of 100,000 biodiversity
occurrences sampled at more than 80 sites across the United States. We will
facilitate this by creating a data portal to support occurrence discovery
and tracking of sample transactions and usage statistics. The invertebrate
collections manager will play a critical role in coordinating these tasks,
focusing on the high-volume and taxonomically diverse samples of pinned and
pooled ground beetles (Carabidae), mosquitoes (Culicidae), pitfall trap
"by-catch", and aquatic macroinvertebrates. The position requires expertise
in arthropod/insect diversity and identification, and an ability to develop
new data products to leverage the research potential of NEON invertebrate
specimens with the greater community.

----------

The Arizona State University (ASU) School of Life Sciences and Biodiversity
Knowledge Integration Center (BioKIC) are seeking a Project Manager for the
National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Biorepository. NEON (
neonscience.org) is a continental-scale ecological observation facility,
sponsored by the
National Science Foundation and operated by Battelle. The project is
expected to run for 30 years. For each project year, the NEON Biorepository
at ASU will
receive, process, store, and make available an average of 100,000
biodiversity occurrences sampled at more than 80 sites across the United
States. The diverse
samples include DNA extractions, frozen soil samples, bulk and pinned
insect collections, herbarium vouchers, and partial or entire vertebrate
specimens,
among others. A high rate of sample use for NEON-related research projects
is expected. A new data portal will support the discovery and transactions
of
samples, as well as usage statistics. The project will transition
throughout a multi-year infrastructure and service growth phase before
reaching its full capacity.
Achieving these goals will require reliable coordination of project
personnel and budgets, space renovations and infrastructure creation, and
timely reporting to
internal and outside institutions, including the NEON research community
and greater public.

Hi all,

I wonder if any of you who currently work in a collection where you actively collect vertebrates have a museum collection policy document that you adhere to, and if so, if you'd be willing to share? We don't currently have one at the ANWC, but are at the beginning stages of creating a document that outlines our 10-20 year plan for research and collecting directions and specific policies and terms we have for collecting (numbers, euthanizing methods, etc). I've never written anything quite like this before, and would love to see what other museums have come up with before I start.

Thanks!

Tonya

Hi Tonya,

would recommend "Things great and small" (2nd edition) by John E. Simmons
https://www.amazon.com/Things-Great-Small-Collections-Management/dp/1442277459

Developing a policy is the one things, but such documents often fall 
short when colleagues don't live up to it or if there is room for 
improvement in the internal museum management (e.g. what are the 
sanctions if policies are violated).

All the best
Dirk

Darwin Core (DwC) Hour #14 is almost here: *An Attribution Darwin Core

<https://www.idigbio.org/content/darwin-core-hour-attribution-darwin-core-extension-what-would-look>*

WHERE: https://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/room

ABSTRACT: Research collections are an important tool for understanding the
Earth, its systems, and human interaction. Despite the importance of
collections, many are not maintained or curated as thoroughly as we desire.
Part of the reason for this is the lack of professional reward for
collection, curation, or maintenance. To address this gap in attribution
metadata, the Research Data Alliance (RDA) and the Biodiversity Information
Standards (TDWG) organization co-endorsed a Working Group to create
recommendations for the representation of attribution metadata. After 18
months, this Working Group recommended the use of PROV entities and
properties to link people (Agent), the curatorial actions they perform
(Activity), and the digital or physical objects they are curating (Entity).
Assigning a Role to an Agent is optional. These recommendations are
discussed in the context of the RDA, TDWG, and existing standards.

Future work includes (1) adapting these recommendations to the specific
needs of TDWG and the natural history collections community, which could
include development of a Darwin Core extension, (2) recommendations on how
to best record agents, activities, and entities in collections management
platforms such that these data can be shared, and (3) recommendations and
possible solutions to help accelerate the process of reconciling agents and
their activities in legacy data.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Personal Natural History Collections
Message-ID: <f2ee037998144185bbe40aca9a27c582@vims.edu>

Does anyone have recommendations for publications that address the ethics of "personal" natural history collections (i.e., specimens that were legally collected, but sit on desks as curios), particularly when an individual is at a museum or institution with an established collection? I am specifically thinking about specimens that were collected as part of federally or state funded research programs, and that were collected under the auspices of the institution at which the individual works. I would like to put together a workshop on scientific collecting for incoming graduate students, and it would be nice to have some readings that address this issue.

Of course, if you have your own opinions that you would like to share with me, please feel free to e-mail me individually.

Thanks,
Sarah

Hi all,

First just thank you to all of you for being so generous with your time - I always find answers to my questions here and I really appreciate it.

Today I'm writing because I'm interested to hear about people's ideas about using pheromone traps for IPM in skin collections. We currently don't actively monitor for pests in our skin vaults (birds and mammals) with sticky traps, and I would like to start doing so. However, I'm not clear on whether it would be best to use blunder sticky traps (no pheromones), or pheromone-specific traps (I'm thinking for dermestids & anobiids beetles, and clothes moths). Should I worry that I might actually attract pests into the collections if I place pheromone traps there? Thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Tonya

Message-ID: <3e8d1431-9405-5eb4-ef45-45f9eb2e3f1b@ucr.edu>

Some of you may have heard that the US government has announced, less 
than a week ago, its intention to withdraw from the Universal Postal 
Union (UPU) treaty, after over 140 years. This treaty gives discounted 
shipping rates on small parcels into the US, from over 150 countries. 
Does anyone here know - for certain - whether this would affect the cost 
of international shipments of specimens into the US, and if so, what 
sort of increase in cost would it entail? The coverage of this news item 
in the US media is hopelessly narrow in its focus, and it's almost 
impossible to tell what effect, if any, this would have on specimen 
shipments.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Tonya,


I recommend checking out information about this on https://museumpests.net/


Blunder traps are never a bad place to start. If you have a clean space and good cabinets this may be enough. Pheromone traps can help with monitoring, but because they are pest specific if you don't know what you actually have you can miss a problem. If you use pheromones I would recommend using them with blunder traps.

If you do use pheromone traps, be sure they are about 20 feet from any windows or outer doors, this should minimize attracting anything in. (I think we have more about that on the Museum Pests site.


Lastly, the pestlist can be a great resource for IPM questions and pest identifications.


Best,

Genevieve

Doug

In looking at the coverage given to this so far it is too early to tell but it does appear as if the intention is not to leave the UPU altogether but to negotiate higher prices for China who are gaming the system.  If we were to pull out completely then all international mail both into and out of the US would be severely affected and would essentially halt all mail service for USPS and courier services.  I very much doubt it would come to that but there is the possibility of higher prices based on the negotiations if other countries decide to retaliate.

The impetus behind this, and as the parent of a teenager I feel the concern, is that at present kids can go on line - to the regular Web or the Dark Web - and order pretty much anything from China as long as it's small and light (vape devices, fentanyl etc.) Shipping is very cheap - a couple of dollars - and packages arrive quickly and with almost no chance of customs inspection. This undoubtedly needs fixing, though throwing out the whole UPU agreement might not be necessary to do that.

Enabling Interdisciplinary and Team Science: A Professional Development
Program from AIBS

Reports abound from professional societies, the Academies, government
agencies, and researchers calling attention to the fact that science is
increasingly an inter-disciplinary, transdisciplinary, inter-institutional,
and international endeavor. In short, science has become a ?team sport.?

There is a real and present need to better prepare scientists for success
in this new collaborative environment. The American Institute of Biological
Sciences (AIBS) is responding to this call with a new program for
scientists, educators, and individuals who work with or participate in
scientific teams.

Team science is increasingly common in 21st century biological, life, and
environmental sciences. Collaboration is no longer limited to sharing ideas
with the biologist in the lab next door. The questions confronting science
often require teams that may include a mix of computer and information
scientists, physical and social scientists, mathematicians, ethicists,
policy and management experts, as well as community stakeholders and
citizen scientists. Adding to this complexity, teams span programs within
organizations, cross organization boundaries to form institutional
consortia, and often include international partners.

This intensive, two-day, interactive, professional development course was
designed by scientists and experts on collaboration and teamwork to provide
participants with the knowledge and skills required to become productive
and effective members of scientific teams. From its first offering the
course has evolved to include a greater focus on team planning and
teamwork, and less time allocated to university administration of
interdisciplinary teams.

Nothing teaches collaboration like practicing collaboration. This is not a
course that asks you to learn in isolation. It is a microcosm of scientific
collaboration, with extensive hands-on learning as part of a scientific
team, with scientific case studies and examples.

This course is designed for anyone involved in collaborative scientific
endeavors. Team leaders will find the course especially helpful. Because
participants will work on ?real-world? team science concerns, we encourage
multiple members of a team to attend together. We can also customize the
course and bring it to your university, department, lab, or research team.
This course provides the right foundation from which your team can
successfully accomplish your goals.

Participants will develop and hone the skills needed to:

   - Explain interdisciplinary team science and characteristics of
   effective scientific teams
   - Describe how teams work
   - Recognize competencies and characteristics of effective team leadership
   - Create effective teams and team culture
   - Develop a shared vision, mission, plan, and key performance indicators
   for a scientific team
   - Identify and assess the right mix of competencies and people needed
   for a scientific team
   - Use team tools and processes such as quality improvement cycle and
   knowledge mapping
   - Improve team communication and trust

Dates: January 14-15, 2019

Hi all,

I wanted to alert you to a very disturbing thing happening in the
National Archives world that may severely impact research, especially
historical and scientific research. The Dept of interior is asking for
permission to destroy records about oil and gas leases, mining, dams,
wells, timber sales, marine conservation, fishing, endangered species,
non-endangered species, critical habitats, land acquisition, and lots
more. Basically records from every agency within the Interior
Department, including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park
Service, US Fish & Wildlife Service, US Geological Survey, Bureau of
Safety and Environmental Enforcement, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and
others. This is all content that would normally go to NARA for
collection and preservation. This is disturbing because previous
administrations would obfuscate records by classifying/reclassifying
records. This admin is basically just destroying records so th ey?ll
never be accessible.

There?s an October 29 deadline for comment to NARA:
request.schedule at nara.gov<mailto:request.schedule at nara.gov> /// fax:
301-837-3698 /// NARA (ACRA), 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park MD
20740-6001. (Be sure to say that you?re referring to
DAA-0048-2015-0003.) Please forward to your networks and researchers
who may be effected.

NARA?s appraisal memo

Sounds like your present administration would like to create an Orwell-1984-system, but they are not there yet. They shouldn?t delete the records; that creates suspicious holes. They need to let the records stay there, but AFTER having ?corrected? them of course. That will also give a lot of job creation?.

Hi all,

I wanted to alert you to a very disturbing thing happening in the
National Archives world that may severely impact research, especially
historical and scientific research. The Dept of interior is asking for
permission to destroy records about oil and gas leases, mining, dams,
wells, timber sales, marine conservation, fishing, endangered species,
non-endangered species, critical habitats, land acquisition, and lots
more. Basically records from every agency within the Interior
Department, including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park
Service, US Fish & Wildlife Service, US Geological Survey, Bureau of
Safety and Environmental Enforcement, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and
others. This is all content that would normally go to NARA for
collection and preservation. This is disturbing because previous
administrations would obfuscate records by classifying/reclassifying
records. This admin is basically just destroying records so th ey?ll
never be accessible.

There?s an October 29 deadline for comment to NARA:
request.schedule at nara.gov<mailto:request.schedule at nara.gov><mailto:request.schedule at nara.gov<mailto:request.schedule at nara.gov>> /// fax:
301-837-3698 /// NARA (ACRA), 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park MD
20740-6001. (Be sure to say that you?re referring to
DAA-0048-2015-0003.) Please forward to your networks and researchers
who may be effected.

NARA?s appraisal memo

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] US withdrawal from UPU

Some of you may have heard that the US government has announced, less than a week ago, its intention to withdraw from the Universal Postal Union (UPU) treaty, after over 140 years. This treaty gives discounted shipping rates on small parcels into the US, from over 150 countries. 
Does anyone here know - for certain - whether this would affect the cost of international shipments of specimens into the US, and if so, what sort of increase in cost would it entail? The coverage of this news item in the US media is hopelessly narrow in its focus, and it's almost impossible to tell what effect, if any, this would have on specimen shipments.

Thanks in advance,

Candidates should have experience with relational databases (such as Microsoft Access or Arctos), as well as familiarity with online data aggregators and current digitization efforts in biodiversity collections.  Curation and digital management of genetic resources (tissues) is an important component of this position. The Collections Manager of Fishes will serve as an advocate for natural history collections, and must be able to communicate their importance to members of the public and to the university and scientific communities alike.  Exceptional organizational skills are required.

Essential Functions:
Curation (care, maintenance, improvement, and growth of collection, as well as database management, and processing of loans). Service (including grant writing), outreach, & professional development. Research as appropriate in the context of curatorial priorities.

Duties and Responsibilities:

  1.  Curate physical specimens, including specimen preparation, and organization, care, and housing of specimens and associated tissues or other ancillary materials (such as field notes). Conduct and coordinate processing of new and existing collections, including accessioning, physical preparation, labeling, cataloguing, and loans.
  2.  Establish priorities for collection care and management in coordination with curatorial and research staff.
  3.  Develop and implement collections management policies aligned with best museum practices and University policy.
  4.  Provide collection access to the research community, including assisting visitors to the collection and processing specimen loans.
  5.  Digitize and document collections and their use, including capturing and managing in a database digital images of specimens and their associated information and field notes..
  6.  Maintain electronic and digital records, and update taxonomic and auxiliary information.
  7.  Collaborate and liaise with external biological data repositories and partners, including but not limited to VertNet, iDigBio, and GBIF.
  8.  Provide periodic support to the museum, university, and professional communities, such as serving on MSB and institutional committees and education teams to develop ichthyology-related content for the broader museum community.
  9.  Train and supervise technicians, students, interns, and volunteers working with the collection.
  10. Collaborate with the Curator and other museum staff to develop grant proposals for collections improvements and other collection-based initiatives. Manage grants and contracts in coordination with the Curator.
  11. Provide support for promotional and institutional advancement activities, including opportunities to engage with the public by providing tours of the collection.

ABSTRACT: Research collections are an important tool for understanding the
Earth, its systems, and human interaction. Despite the importance of
collections, many are not maintained or curated as thoroughly as we desire.
Part of the reason for this is the lack of professional reward for
collection, curation, or maintenance. To address this gap in attribution
metadata, the Research Data Alliance (RDA) and the Biodiversity Information
Standards (TDWG) organization co-endorsed a Working Group to create
recommendations for the representation of attribution metadata. After 18
months, this Working Group recommended the use of PROV entities and
properties to link people (Agent), the curatorial actions they perform
(Activity), and the digital or physical objects they are curating (Entity).
Assigning a Role to an Agent is optional. These recommendations are
discussed in the context of the RDA, TDWG, and existing standards.

Future work includes (1) adapting these recommendations to the specific
needs of TDWG and the natural history collections community, which could
include development of a Darwin Core extension, (2) recommendations on how
to best record agents, activities, and entities in collections management
platforms such that these data can be shared, and (3) recommendations and
possible solutions to help accelerate the process of reconciling agents and
their activities in legacy data.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Bird Wings Collection Storage
Message-ID: <000901d46f91$60a19410$21e4bc30$@nmbe.ch>

Dear All,

 

I?m writing in behalf of our Team to get some ideas about right storage for
Bird Wings.

 

We have a growing collection of bird wings that is, in my opinion, not very
well stored. 

 

We put them in translucent PE sleeves to keep all parts together. The
problem is that this way the whole feather rows get flattened. As a
taxidermist it?s very sad to see hours of work trying to get the feathers
nicely straighten, go lost due to this storage solution.

 

Our new plan would be to place them with the inner side down and use
cardboard straps (acid free) to pin them on a PE foam block. This way the
feather patterns on the wings don?t get flattened and still have all parts
together.

 

What other options do you recommend? Any better solutions or ideas?

 

I?ll attach some pictures so you can get an idea of our problem.

 

 

Thanks,
