Hello everyone,

Great to see so many people at the conference last week.

Axiell, who generously sponsored the conference are asking NatSCA members if they would like to fill out a survey of global top 10 weirdest specimens. Sounds like fun if you have five minutes on a Friday afternoon!

Thanks,

David

To highlight the amazing diversity of natural history collections worldwide, Axiell are creating a shortlist of the global top 10 weirdest specimens. Submit your specimen for a chance to be included. (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/weirdestspecimens )

The top 10 results article will released to international news outlets, industry journals and high profile associations for distribution as well as uploaded Axiell’s website and sent to Axiell's large community of natural history customers.

If you think you have a contender for the weirdest specimen in your collection, and would like your collections to benefit from the free publicity - you can submit your specimen at the link below.

It’s completely free to take part. The form will take about 5 minutes complete and the submission deadline is this Friday the 29th April.
