Why doesn't India have a national research museum for natural history? How does this absence affect conservation efforts? Here are my thoughts.

Museums are time capsules of biodiversity. We argue for making #India’s natural history collections accessible & integrating them with modern tools for #ecology, #evolution & #conservation research while #biodiversity faces multiple threats due to global change

Our collaborative paper is now out!
This work grew from conversations at NCBS earlier this year — highlighting how collections can shape the future of biodiversity science in India

Big questions in #paleontology?
In a global effort involving ~ 200 scientists from 30 countries, we identified the key questions shaping the future of paleontology.
Our work is now published in Paleobiology!
