Congrats to curators Dr. Andrea Quattrini and Dr. Sabrina Sholts for receiving the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). PECASE is the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers early in their careers.
The National Museum of Natural History will be closed to the public on Tuesday, January 7 due to street closures as part of ceremonies honoring former President Jimmy Carter. All other Smithsonian museums on the National Mall will be open as usual.
Today we mourn the loss of our friend and colleague Dave Johnson, Curator of Fishes.
Dave was a world-renowned comparative morphologist and ichthyologist who joined our Fish Division's curatorial staff in 1983. He was by nature a collaborator and had many co-authors worldwide.
