Quote: "On November 1st...the museum has banned Pinto from its laboratories and collections, ending his status as a “research collaborator” and deactivating his entry badge. Museum officials declined to explain their decision: in a terse statement to The Verge, NMNH communications chief ... said only that “Miguel Pinto is no longer affiliated with the Smithsonian.”"
