In a new paper out today, nearly 300 researchers, including NMNH's Robert Soreng, have crafted an invaluable tool - a vast DNA tree of life with 1.8 billion letters of genetic code from 9,500+ species! 🧬 Read more about this open access resource here: s.si.edu/4b9Z18e
Congratulations to NMNH Paleobiology Curator Conrad Labandeira who was today named a 2023 @aaas Fellow for his significant contributions to the study of fossil insects, their interaction with fossil plants, and fossil insect diversity.
Amphipods are tiny invertebrates that are useful indicators of pollution and climate change. This #NationalVolunteerWeek, learn more about an amazing volunteer who has spent hours cataloging thousands of amphipods specimens for use in future research: s.si.edu/3vZATXi
Warmer weather got you in the mood for spring cleaning? Enjoy this throwback to a 1984 feather duster cleaning of Henry, our 11-ton African elephant that has graced the museum’s Rotunda since 1959.

Congrats to Anthropology Curator Sabrina Sholts on the release of her book - The Human Disease: How We Create Pandemics from Our Bodies to Our Beliefs. The book explores how the very fact of being human makes us vulnerable to pandemics—and gives us the power to save ourselves.

Able to form thick, dense stands, stalks are typically 2-4 feet tall, but can reach 9 feet. Though an eye-catching flower, President Arthur had no particular interest in botany or natural history, so why he would collect just one herbarium specimen remains a mystery.
On an 1883 trip to Yellowstone, this fireweed (Chamerion angustifolium) was collected by President Chester A. Arthur. This tall, pinkish-purple wildflower is known for its ability to rapidly grow in areas that have been burned by fire.
Every once in a while, presidents stop to smell the roses—or in this case, fireweed. Ahead of #PresidentsDay weekend, we're sharing the only specimen in the @NMNH collection that was collected by a sitting president.
Join us this #BlackHistoryMonth as we explore art as a platform of social justice: from literary, visual, performing, musical to digital arts and more, the theme chosen by @ASALH.
We're honoured to present @DrRebeccaJ with an inaugural Embassy of Australia Award. This trailblazing 🇦🇺 has the coolest job in Washington: Chief Scientist at the Smithsonian @NMNH. She led research into the Koala Genome, and is recognised as a superstar of STEM. 📷 Nick Langley
