A truly MVZ effort is out on PLOS! "Mutualism in museums: A model for engaging undergraduates in biodiversity science” describes how much the MVZ depends on our undergraduates and what our students gain in the process. Spearheaded by former undergraduate Anna Hiller, she’s now a graduate student at Louisiana State University pursuing a PhD in evolutionary biology.

This paper is dedicated to the students- past, present and future- who make this all possible.
