On September 7, 2016, the MCZ signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Institute of Ecology, South Korea. The MOU will promote and facilitate joint research and educational activities by people at NIE and Harvard.
The MCZ's collections and research space in the Northwest Building received LEED platinum certification "the highest rating possible" from the U.S. Green Building Council. Read more about the project in the Harvard Gazette.
The MCZ's use of micro-computed tomography (microCT) to examine internal morphology of museum specimens is discussed in the July-August 2015 issue of Harvard Magazine. The scans are available to view on select specimens pages in MCZbase.
