Well, let's hope that is not true. Actually, while the geological collections here at CAS receive very little attention from Stanford geologists, the biological collections have in recent years become an important resource for them again (the long, slow, painful realization that you can't do biology without organisms). From what I understand, collections-based research is on the table for this position.
