Natural history collections are the major source of data in biological sciences: ecology, evolution, biogeography, paleobiology, & beyond. Collections are essential to understanding the past, present, & future of biodiversity. #CollectionsAreEssential

Help spread the word! We're currently recruiting for our first U.S. National Science Foundation funded RaMP cohort. There are a lot of different specialties among our mentor list, so there's something for everyone! Check out the information here and pass along! sites.google.com/georgiasouther…

We are looking forward to seeing you all soon! Check in, the keynote address, and social are all in Marshall Hall. Check your emails for a map to the parking lot.
