| Laboratory
and Museum Visits and Exchanges
Therevid
PEET team members have had opportunities to visit the laboratories
of fellow PEETsters and other colleagues to learn new skills
and further their research goals. Because each person has
different strengths and proficiences, these visits and exchanges
offer a chance for everyone to become more well-rounded.
Therevid PEET participants also visit museums and various
collections to meet with colleagues, sort through the therevid
specimens that may not be able to be mailed, photograph and
document types, and identify some of the unsorted Diptera
that may have lain in the museum's collection for many years
awaiting the attention of an expert. On rare occasions, type
specimens that had been considered lost have even been found
in unexpected places. The exchanges are of benefit to all
concerned.
