<div style="margin: 10px 0px 14pt;"><font face="-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,Fira Sans,Droid Sans,Helvetica Neue,sans-serif"><b>Description: </b></font>For centuries, scientific repositories, also known as natural history museums,
have served a foundational role in the natural sciences. They provide the empirical basis for observational and descriptive research that spans the globe and reaches out into the solar system. This talk will focus primarily on biological research collections
such as the Oregon State Arthropod Collection here at OSU and discuss how the specimens, specimen data and curatorial investment that goes into building and maintaining these resources is reflected (or not reflected) in the scholarly work that relies on them,
and make the argument that perhaps re-envisioned museum management and citation practices in the sciences might better reflect the scholarly impact these collections and curation have in 21st century science. </div>
