Today is the best day of the year: #WorldBookDay! 📚
It’s @museumbooks here to give you a behind the scenes look at our library collection and show you some books that relate to the upcoming #TreasuresOfTheNaturalWorld exhibition from @NHM_London, opening 12 June
All volumes of the "Memoirs of Museum Victoria", including those that were #BornDigital, are now freely accessible online @BioDivLibrary - that's every article published between 1906 & 2018! (We'll upload 2019's articles at the end of the year). @museumsvictoria@atlaslivingaust
We can’t possibly address all aspects of #BiodiversityNext, but we hope aftermovie captures the scale, impact, and efforts and give some sneak peeks of exciting next steps.

"Be the change you want to be & then mass produce it" says @carrieseltzer, speaking about what she's going to do when she gets back to the office after #biodiversitynext (i.e get an #ORCID & make all your colleagues to get one too!)
Looking forward to extending my national role, engaging with museums and herbaria all around Australia, still working with @BioDivLibrary and @bhl_au and also having the opportunity to work internationally at a time when biodiversity research has never mattered more (2/2)
Since lots of people know already, here's the official word. I've been doing a secondment with @atlaslivingaust for the past year and have decided to stay. I've officially left @museumsvictoria after 24 years but will still have my desk @melbournemuseum (1/2)
I do like the notion from @DanaChatter that whilst topic knowledge is important, knowledge from life experiences always brings valuable perspectives #IWD2019#melbournemuseum
Ah the question of imposter syndrome - yep let’s all talk about that as a way of acknowledging self doubt by outing it @DanaChatter#IWD2019#melbournemuseum
