Dear tunicate people and, particularly, Brazilian members It is with great sadness that I learnt about the destruction of the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro I know it hosted a lot of invaluable specimens and Natural History collections. I wonder if there was any tunicate material there and what has been its fate. Anyway, all my support to our Brazilian colleagues... although most losses are sadly not recoverable, I hope the Museum can be rebuilt in a short time.
