The public can visit until the end of this year but will find doors closed at the start of 2024 when the work to pack and safely store the collections will begin. The construction part of the renovations will begin once that is completed, likely in the summer.</p> Wed, 13 Sep 2023 16:17:58 +0000 grace.kiser@mcgill.ca 959789 at /science /science/channels/news/freshwater-biodiversity-loss-has-been-out-sight-out-mind-344086 <p>A silent mass extinction is occurring in lakes, rivers and wetlands.
