We have two major herbarium crises ongoing at the moment, both near and dear to my tropical botany heart. It’s really sad to see invaluable infrastructure crumble, even while actively loved and used at both Duke and UNAL 💔

Apparently @DukeU is planning on closing their herbarium?!! 825,000 specimens including 2,000 type specimens.

HUGE blow for science - will be truly tragic if this goes forward.

Budding Journalists: It's easy to fill your story with quotes. It's harder to paraphrase what people say, adding in your own context and clarity. Yet the latter makes for much better storytelling. Save your quotes for when others say it better than you ever could.

Could these stealthy survival tactics teach us how to curb the widespread use of chemical pesticides in agriculture?
