Hyperbolic Hyperventilation Theater is proud to present:

‘Catastrophic to collection-based science’

Where professor Kenshu Shimada of DePaul University explains how the San Diego Museum of Natural History selling off a few fossils from their collection at an open auction is going to result in the destruction of the science of paleontology.

the SDNHM’s action to de-accession specimens knowingly that many or all will disappear from the public domain extremely threatens the science of natural history-based research, and may even provoke other natural history museums worldwide to consider de-accessioning their collections for sale that would be catastrophic to all collection-based science fields.

Hey, Doc, here’s a thought: Go to the auction. Buy the fossils.

See how easy that is?
