Did you know that the Smithsonian's very first curator, Spencer Fullerton Baird, created the NMNH Division of Fishes fluid collection? Join our virtual tour and discover ten more interesting facts about the Division's research collections. Fact number seven will blow you away!
As part of the Collections Share Fair series, Lisa Palmer will focus on the fluid collection of preserved fishes and will tie other kinds of Divisional collections (e.g. bones, illustrations, radiographs, and Oh My!) to the primary collection. And while we have yet to figure out how you can virtually hold a marvelous fish specimen in your gloved hands, Lisa will have photos and stories that will build upon one's fabulous facts about fishes.
Hint for the #7 fish fact: who was friend to Ed Ricketts's friend?
