This isn’t just a case of some business orientated universities having contempt for the natural sciences (although no doubt that plays a part). Make no mistake, museum collections are essential and irreplaceable tools to advance science. Data from museums helps the IUCN make decisions about threatened species.

With climate change appearing to expand the skeeters’ range, according to recent research in Science Advances , the birds have fewer safe places to hide. Further, a new scientific study suggests that these crows may have an advantage over other avians—like their cousins, the New Caledonian Crows , they are revealed to be tool users.
