Is the Kew herbarium relocation already causing disruption? It used to be 200 new plant species described a year by @KewScience but maybe the distraction and exodus of skilled taxonomists caused by these plans is starting to have an effect? @KewKeepers bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

"investing" c £200 million into moving the herbarium out of Kew sounds great - however, this is equivalent to paying to get rid of something you know is valuable, but you don't know how to appreciate it. #taxonomy #curation #EnglishHeritage #UNESCO #SaveKewHerbarium
