Over the past decade, the 40 researchers at the Natural History Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen have published more than 100 papers in Nature and Science, putting it among the world9s top research museums. But budget pressures are forcing a reorganization that will split museum research from curation and outreach, dismaying the museum9s scientists. Several of the most prominent group leaders say they may leave. Last month, the university announced that, as of 1 January 2019, the museum will be downsized, becoming a unit within the biology department. Roughly half of the 40 researchers will remain part of that unit; they will give up some of their research to focus on curation and outreach. The other half will become full faculty within the biology department—including the geologists and astrophysicists. These scientists will lose their affiliation with the museum and replace their curatorial roles with increased teaching duties. Researchers say divorcing the scientists9 dual roles will curtail the fruitful way that curation pollinates research.

降级让著名丹麦博物馆的研究人员感到沮丧

十年来，哥本哈根丹麦自然历史博物馆的40名研究人员在《自然》和《科学》杂志上发表了100多篇论文，跻身世界顶级研究博物馆之列。但是预算压力正在迫使博物馆的研究从策展和宣传中分离出来，这让博物馆的科学家们感到沮丧。几位最著名的团体领导人表示他们可能会离开。上个月，该大学宣布，自 2019 年 1 月 1 日起，博物馆将缩小规模，成为生物学系的一个单位。40 名研究人员中大约有一半将留在该部门；他们将放弃一些研究，专注于策展和外展。另一半将成为生物学系的全职教员——包括地质学家和天体物理学家。这些科学家将失去与博物馆的联系，并以增加的教学职责取代他们的策展角色。研究人员表示，让科学家 9 的双重角色分离开来，将削弱策展为研究授粉的富有成效的方式。
