Fifty years ago this foreshadowing interview with @MBLScience researcher and @NobelPrize recipient Dr. George Wald speaks to grappling in 1971 with the stark reality of the fragility of the environment. Environmental Affairs, v.1no.1 https://t.co/xkHDYJCMLe @BCLawReview

Sometimes libraries are the sole holding institution for a paper printed work of science literature. Loss of such knowledge would indeed be a loss. We work with consortia like @BLC_Inc #EAST #printretention as you can’t build historical digital libraries without paper first.

The heath hen (Tympanuchus cupido cupido) was declared extinct in 1932. "The Last Heath Hen" (1930), published in the @MBLScience "The Collecting Net" newspaper, documents the last individual of the species. @MBLWHOILibrary shares more on our blog. ➡️ https://t.co/upxYYoysx1

Scholar Laura Lovett spent the summer of 2013 at @MBLScience working on the launch of the @MBLHistory project, specifically researching practicalities of Woods Hole life which enabled women scientists to do their work and raise their families.
