REMINDER: If you cite museum specimens in publications, let us know and send us a copy. WE LINK YOUR RESEARCH TO OUR COLLECTION FOREVER. It's like super important to science.
While we do believe that museums change lives and we know museum professionals are the most enthusiastic and committed, be sure to make a little distance between yourself and your work. We aren't brain surgeons - no one is going to die. Your best is enough. #WorldMentalHealthDay
It's #WorldMentalHealthDay - so take some time to look after yourselves. Get away from your desk and into the ☀. Reach out to a friend and ask how they are doing (especially if they seem like they have it all together). And always always ask for help if you need it.
