Access to digital databases of scientific specimens can be a valuable resource for researchers, environmental organizations, and communities across the world — but digitizing 4 million insects is a daunting task. Robin Thomson, Curator of University of Minnesota Insect Collection, is one of the people involved in the digitization of the insect collection. Once digitized, this data will be available on the Bell’s Minnesota Biodiversity Atlas. Learn more about the importance and challenges of this
