#Aldemaro Romero Jr.'s Letters from Academia#30. Skeletons as fire hazards.#As Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Arkansas State University#I took the initiative to demonstrate the beauty of combining art with biology. For example#we mounted the skeleton of a manatee at the base of the main stairwell in front of a wall painted as a diorama by one of our art students#Amber Heard (no relation to the actress). Unfortunately#according to my colleague John Pratte#the skeleton was taken away after I left that institution because it represented “a fire hazard” and an earthquake hazard#even though it was bolted to the ceiling with still chains and anchors. Unless you believe that bones can generate spontaneous combustion#you can see why bureaucracy prompts academics in many higher ed institutions.#Read more about this case at: https://aromerojr.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/1083.Leonardos-Children-2.pdf#highereducation
