'''ViralMuse''', as the name of the group suggests, points out the need for a closer, integrated, long-term relationship between the virology community and the natural history museums housing vouchered specimens. Bearing all of this in mind, ViralMuse Task Force was born to (re)start a multi-disciplinary conversation about the need to build this fundamental bridge between natural history collections and public health, especially in the context of the need for explicit, verifiable host-species, host-pathogen relationships and evolution. | '''ViralMuse''', as the name of the group suggests, points out the need for a closer, integrated, long-term relationship between the virology community and the natural history museums housing vouchered specimens.
