Dear Friends and Colleagues in Worms,
I am very pleased to announce that I have a new job. As of March 1, I am
Museum Scientist in charge of the Benthic Invertebrates Collection at
Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Although my duties include the care
and maintenance of all the invertebrates; I will be, of course, partial to the
polychaetes. This is an exciting time to be associated with the collection.
New facilities are nearing completion with compactor shelving and new
office/lab space with room for visiting scientists. Please consider adding
SIO to your list of places to visit when visiting the US. The polychaete
collection is not huge, but contains material mostly unidentified from the
eastern Pacific (southern California, western Mexico, Gulf of California -
intertidal, shelf, slope and deep water) with some material from mid Pacific
Islands and Antarctica. It is not well organized, but give me a little time.
Please consider adding the SIO Benthic Invertebrates Collection to your list
of places to send systematic, life history, biogeographic, etc. reprints.
There is plenty to do here with the worms, but catching up on general
care/maintance/accessioning/cataloguing/loans and the move will occupy
my time the rest of this year. To learn more about the collection I invite
you to go to the SIO website at <www-sio.ucsd.edu/> and click Library
and Collections (the benthic collection will be updated shortly).
My wormest regards to you all,
Larry
