I have and will continue INSPITE of the administration that continues to cut research funds as long as Penny and others try to maintain the collection. Where to donate? Not the Smithsonian since many collections are collecting dust because they are not being curated.

Please delete if already aware of them. The 2012 article was sent to me by the Author, Dr. Mound. The Ross article is a classic! Seems similar to other facilities—emphasis less on “research” by consolidating specialties, space and emphasis on public outreach, not research.
