Hey Ben,
The museum is its own separately funded unit, so while this hurts, and directly affects our curators and interns from EAS, UNSM including Ashfall and Trailside remains open and active.

That said, we are gutted. EAS have been allies and partners with the museum for a hundred years. No more.

Yes, there was a deliberate push to get rid of all scientific names; of course, I think this is a massive mistake. And, indeed, no roaring for sabretooths, their hyoid anatomy indicates that they couldn't do it :) #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge
