Very important to note that a paper of this scale would not have been possible without:. - Herbaria! especially @KewScience .- a global team of collaborators willing to openly share data.- advancements in efficient open source software.- investment in basic biodiversity research.

My letter to @DukeChronicle on the closing of Duke's Herbarium
dukechronicle.com

@bceenet It's my goal to have specimens in front of as many undergrads as possible. Non-majors botany gets a CURE studying invasive species. Upper division classes sample specimens for lab projects. We've had English and Art students visit and mount specimens, inspiring creative works.

IMO we save herbaria by making them critical to the research AND teaching missions of universities. Since 2020, @bceenet we've been developing teaching resources using natural history collections. Plus we have $$$ available for instructor training!.
