Hello everyone,

On 25 June 2008 John Sullivan and I presented a poster on the All Catfish Species Inventory at the 14th Annual Capitol Hill science exhibition and reception hosted by the Coalition for National Science Funding (for article see: http://www.aibs.org/aibs-news/aibs_news ... .html#5067)


We talked with several NSF officials, including Asst. Director for Biology James Collins, and Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) who visited our poster, and used this opportunity to advocate for taxonomy, systematics, and the NSF Planetary Biological Inventory Program (as well as catfishes).


For photos of Representative Kucinich pondering catfishes, see: http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/news/a ... _CNSF.html


To download a PDF copy of the ACSI poster follow the link on this webpage (in text under "ACSI in DC"): http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/news/catfish_news.html


Have a nice weekend,
Mark
