This article from the American Naturalist explores what we can learn from overlooked records in a museum’s collection. Read “Opening the Museum’s Vault: Historical Field Records Preserve Reliable Ecological Data.” ow.ly/K0rE50QC15s @ASNAmNat

I feel exactly the same - and I suspect this is true for the vast majority of academic scientists. Our 'productivity lifespan' is eroded by the cancerous growth of administrative bureaucracy.
The main thing I need for my science is TIME. I value stuff that buys me more time to think, create, hypothesize, read, write, and do. Anything that eats up my work time, especially detracting from the above, is a waste.

The search has begun for my successor! Collections-focused ichthyologists with expertise in systematics, phylogenetics, biogeography, and conservation should apply by April 14. I can happily answer questions about the awesome department and collection. jobs.oregonstate.edu/posting…

Over 1000 invasive fish in a single morning of trawling Lake Michigan, watch this @UMBS video. @UMichEEB
VOLUME UP: Watch UMBS students net more than 1,000 invasive fish, and nearly nothing else, while sailing Lake Michigan’s beautiful Suttons Bay aboard the 150-foot Alliance on a windy Wednesday in August. #Discovery myumi.ch/5JD7y
