| Desc | Science Division: Museum researchers contribute to scientific knowledge through collection and analysis of data, which are then used to generate and publish new understandings about the earth, its inhabitants, and beyond. The Science staff manages, preserves, and provides access to the Museum's collection of 4.3 million objects and specimens. During 2021, staff fielded 473 research requests from collaborators inside and outside the museum. The Science Division also engaged in abundant educational outreach, communicating science to 65,983 members of the general public and its research community through courses, events, tours, lectures, and fieldtrips in 2021 alone. 1,162 of these guests attended collection open houses or behind the scenes tours of the Avenir Collections Center. 61,872 of these guests attended one of our virtual programs, our primary method of communicating science to our audiences during the pandemic. Science staff supervised 24 interns, hosted 20 Teen Science Scholars, and mentored 27 undergraduate and graduate students. Our volunteer program was put on hold due to the pandemic in 2020, but in 2021, we were able to bring back a limited number of volunteers. The 152 returning volunteers contributed nearly 21,000 hours. In addition, staff published 38 peer-reviewed papers, books, and book chapters, produced 14 popular articles, and were cited 2,395 times. Research highlights for the year include a publication in the Journal of Mammalian Evolution, co-authored by four DMNS staff members (Krause, Lyson, Dougan, and Petermann) on the iconic Paleocene multituberculate mammal, Taeniolabis taoensis. This publication reflects the continuing scholarship coming from the Colorado Springs Research Project. In addition, Frank Krell named a new species of beetle, Pulchritudo attenboroughi, or "Attenborough's Beauty" as a dedication to the English broadcaster and naturalist, Sir David Attenborough. Finally, the University of Colorado Press published The Egyptian Mummies and Coffins of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science: History, Technical Analysis, and Conservation, a volume detailing the reexamination of the Museum's two mummies and three coffins using innovative, inexpensive, and accessible techniques, under the leadership of Michele Koons. | Desc |

| Part III, Line 1a: | The Museum's collections, which were acquired through purchases, contributions, and active field collecting since the Museum's inception, are not recognized as assets on the statement of financial position. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in which the items are acquired. Contributed collection items are not reflected on the financial statements. Proceeeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset classes. |
| Part III, Line 4: | The Museum's collections are made up of approximately 4. 3 million objects of scientific and historical significance that are held for educational, research, scientific, and curatorial purposes. These items are cataloged, preserved, and cared for, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed continuously. The collections are subject to both accession and de-accession policies including a policy that requires proceeds from their sales to be used to support the Museum's collections. |
