Museum scientific collections are remarkable and irreplaceable sources of information about biodiversity and the history of life on Earth, yet these collections are more than a documentation of the past—they are a hope for the future.

For centuries, botanists collected specimens in the field to understand plant diversity; now that many habitats are threatened, these specimens are finding a new use in conservation research.

Using botanical case studies, conservation biologist Gary Krupnick, Ph.D., will talk about unconscious biases in human perception of the environment and illustrate the ways scientific collections are contributing to research in identifying and helping endangered species.
