Snakes are awesome. And so are natural history museums, since this kind of science wouldn't be possible without them.

Something I think a lot about is whether the next generation of scientists will be aware of – and able to – use the biodiversity data we are all working so hard to generate/digitize/publish.
So, I designed a course this semester called Introduction to Biodiversity Data.

Each specimen is a cultural object by virtue of the fact that it was chosen, named, and placed somewhere by a human. This is in addition to the broader cultural issues of when and where and how this was done, and the milieu in which it was done.
