The Women in Science web site was created to help increase awareness of careers in science, to foster understanding of the real people who practice science, and to encourage young people to pursue individual areas of interest.

We talked to thirteen women in science at The Field Museum. Each one is dedicated to asking and answering questions about the world we live in.

Select a profile at the right and find out about their diverse careers, their thoughts about being scientists, and their personal reflections about their lives as women.
