I was pleased to present my research on using collections to understand pelican extinction and ecology in England to inform a potential reintroduction #BOUasm25, and I would like to specially thank @bou.org.uk and all the museum curators without whom this research would not be possible >>

1/ 🧵 I'm at #BOUasm25 A day at the museum to talk about using natural history collections to build inclusive community.
Natural history #museums are undergoing a renaissance of novel research.
However -who has access to collections? -who is being left out of biodiversity research?
