That’s one HUGE rodent!

We had two international researchers make a special trip to Columbus this week just to examine specimens in the natural history collections! OK, they're from Canada, but that's still international right!? Anyway, we were pleased to welcome Tessa Plint and Dr. Fred Longstaffe of the Laboratory for Stable Isotope Science at the University of Western […]

Happy Birthday, Rachel Carson!

Today is the 107th birthday of Rachel Carson. Unfortunately she died too young, at only 56 years old, of cancer. Ironically one of her greatest accomplishments was helping to ban agricultural use the synthetic pesticide DDT, which was later discovered to be linked to breast cancer. Her accomplishments are too numerous to describe in this […]

More thoughts on “(Re)extinction”

Thanks to Brad Lepper for bringing this article in the New Scientist to my attention. This is another opinion related to my recent blog about the debate concerning natural history museums collecting specimens. See this New Scientist article here. Collecting of specimens for scientific research is an incredibly small percentage of the number of animals […]
