Something else I think we need to think about is what this short-sightedness means for our fundamental stem resources. A narrow focus on ROI impacts basic science facilities, which take a long time to build and not much time to destroy www.newsobserver.com/opinion/arti...

Look, y'all— this is not the worst outcome, but it's also not great. Framing this as gaining a notably large herbarium is spin; the reality is a historic, important herbarium has lost its identity. The specimens were never going to be trashed; Duke still voluntarily truncated their botanical legacy.
