I learned this last year and figure I should share it before I forgot or worse.

At VCF southeast in 2013, I briefly met with Nat Wadsworth’s sister in law. She told us how Nat kept birds in his basement and developed the SCELBI on the second floor of his house.

She told us that Nat was studying bird diseases which accounts for the biology part of the SCELBI name.
