Shout-out to Anthony Howell, the curator in charge of the collections at the Redpath Museum. I donated to the Redpath Museum my entire collection of voucher specimens; over 3,000 specimens of small mammals we collected in my lab across all of Quebec since 2008! There's Jonathan Diamond's beavers in the lot too, some of those coming all the way from Nunavut. Each specimen is preserved as skeletal material (skull) and tissue samples stored in massive -80C freezers. This is a unique collection; I do not think there is anything like that anywhere else in the world. Fifteen years of sampling documenting evolution in action! Anthony organized it all and this collection is now available for study to the rest of the research community.
