For those of you that read Dinochick's blog, you have read that the fate of the University of Wyoming Geological Museum is in danger, with the university's $18.3 million budget cut threatening the jobs of the museum's two employees (director Brent Breithaupt and a part-time secretary) and loss of the museum itself. This would be devastating to the University's outstanding paleontological and geological research programs, as well as detrimental to Wyoming's tourism (come on, Big Al the Allosaurus is there)!
An online petition has been created, and I just signed it. Looking at the number of signatures, there just aren't enough!!! People, we need everyone's help in saving the museum! Please, take a minute to sign the petition here and then post the link on your blog, Facebook, Myspace, whatever, and encourage others to sign as well. This is a sad time for paleontology if another museum is lost....
