Dr. Tim Pearce, assistant curator and Head of Section of Mollusks, was recently featured in the Curator’s Corner—a newsletter from Dr. José H. Leal, science director and curator at the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum—after he participated in the 83rd Meeting of the American Malacological Society at the University of Delaware.
“Some of the highlights of the meeting included a special workshop sponsored by iDigBio (Integrated Digitized Biocollections) on mollusks collections online, Digitizing the 2nd Largest Invertebrate Phylum: Mollusks; the President Symposium, Mollusk research in a digital world: creating, integrating and mining large datasets; and Mollusks in Peril 2017 (MIP 2017, organized by yours truly), a follow-up to the successful Mollusks in Peril 2016 Forum, held in May 2016 at the Shell Museum and sponsored by Smoky and Stephanie Payson.”
