[Taxacom] What A Great Time to be a Young Systematist

[Michael A. Ivie]

Dear Taxacomers,

We see a lot of doom and gloom on this list, but in my career, I have 
never seen a better time to be a young systematist!  In North American 
entomology, we have seen 6 endowed professorships/curators, 3 of them 
new, either just filled, open or about to be open.  Plus, a major 
opening in a top university just filled, leaving an opening where that 
person came from, 2 in top museums, plus more than the normal set of 
collection managers and other non-faculty positions. The death of US 
systematic entomology is no where in sight!

Mike
