vanishing taxonomists

[Barbara Ertter]

The serious side of the whimsical(?) discussion on captive breeding of
taxonomists is that we ARE being out-Darwined as regards the opportunity
for "reproductive success", which in academia is defined as who gets to
pass their particular philosophy, techniques, values, gospel, etc. on to
the next generation of students.
