Join us in person at the Field Museum for a professional learning experience and workshop in partnership with the Newberry Library.
Take flight with a unique two-day journey blending science, art, and exploration, indoors and out. In a partnership between the Field Museum and The Newberry Library, Winging It: The Art and Science of Birds offers educators and professionals an immersive experience that draws from two remarkable collections: the Field's world-renowned bird specimens and the Newberry's rare and historic ornithological texts. Discover how birds have inspired both scientific study and artistic expression through hands-on learning, guided exploration, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Whether in the galleries, the stacks, or under the open sky, you'll uncover new ways to bring the natural world to life.
<ul>
<li>Day 1 of this two day experience will begin with a full day at the Field Museum, with programming from 10am-2pm. This will include coffee, parking, lunch, and if weather permits, we will also participate in a bird walk led by naturalist Soledad Maristany.&nbsp;</li>

Professional Development for Educators

Two Days, Two Sites! A First of Its Kind Professional Development Experience 

Sera Young, PhD, 2025 keynote speaker.

The Field Museum is dedicated to broadening opportunity and equity in the sciences. Field Museum scientists impact their disciplines not only by conducting groundbreaking research but also by providing meaningful opportunities to women pursuing scientific careers. The Women&rsquo;s Board of the Field Museum, founded in 1966, raises funds for Women in Science programs at its annual luncheon celebrating female STEM leadership.

Sponsorships and tickets are available now.

<h2>Keynote</h2>

On May 21, 2025, the Women's Board of the Field Museum will welcome Sera Young, PhD as its annual Women in Science Luncheon speaker.

Dr. Young is a Professor of Anthropology and Global Health at Northwestern University, and she has dedicated her career to understanding how women work to preserve their health and that of their families. Her research focuses on maternal and child undernutrition in the first 1,000 days of life, particularly in low-resource settings.

Notably, Dr. Young led a large team in the development of the first globally equivalent way of measuring water access &ndash; the WISE (Water InSecurity Experiences) Scales. These scales have been used by 100+ organizations in 50+ countries to tackle some of the world&rsquo;s most pressing health challenges.

She has authored more than 170 peer-reviewed publications, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, BBC, and National Geographic. Recent accolades include the Margaret Mead Award for her book Craving Earth, an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship, and the Norman Kretchmer Memorial Award in Nutrition and Development.

Since the inception of the Women in Science initiative in 2000, the annual luncheon has supported more than 500 young women through internships, fellowships, post-doc positions, salary support for female scientific staff, and a robust series of lectures and networking events. In addition, the luncheon makes possible annual science outreach programming for young women from three Chicago Public Schools &ndash; Orr Academy, Solorio Academy, and ITW David Speer Academy &ndash; whom we welcome to the Field Museum to join the luncheon, meet the keynote speaker, and network with female STEM leaders.

<h3>About Kevin Feldheim</h3>

Kevin Feldheim is the A. Watson III Manager of the Pritzker Laboratory for Molecular Systematics and Evolution. His research focuses on inferring the mating system and population biology of sharks using genetic markers called microsatellites, although he is broadly interested in many organisms. He holds degrees from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

This event is being held in conjunction with the Field Museum&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.fieldmuseum.org/activity/pride-month">Pride Month</a> programming.

Dive into the wild world of shark genetics with <a href="https://www.fieldmuseum.org/about/staff/profile/kevin-feldheim">Kevin Feldheim</a>, the A. Watson III Manager of the Pritzker Laboratory for Molecular Systematics and Evolution at the Field Museum. Since 2001, Kevin has been unraveling the mysteries of shark mating systems and population dynamics through cutting-edge genetic research. His latest deep-sea adventure? Exploring the fascinating phenomenon of parthenogenesis&mdash;a form of asexual reproduction&mdash;in sharks and rays. Partnering with aquariums around the country, he's investigating how this rare reproductive strategy could shape the future of conservation efforts for these awe-inspiring creatures. Kevin holds degrees from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Adam Brumm is a professor of archaeology at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. His contributions to the field span 21 years of research in Indonesia, including extensive fieldwork on Flores and Sulawesi, two islands that loom large in our understanding of early humans. In Flores, his team unearthed fossils of archaic hominins that are the oldest found on the island and seem to represent a form ancestral to the celebrated 'Hobbit' (Homo floresiensis). In Sulawesi, his discoveries, with numerous colleagues, of a series of 'ice age' cave paintings were deemed to be among the top 10 scientific breakthroughs of the year on two occasions (2014 and 2019) by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Brumm completed his PhD at the Australian National University in 2007 and has since held several postdoctoral research fellowships, including at the University of Cambridge.

This event is presented in partnership with The Leakey Foundation and the Chicago Council on Science and Technology.

<h3>First Stories: The Ice Age Art of Sulawesi</h3>
In the 1950s, the discovery of prehistoric rock art was reported for the first time on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. These images were found in limestone caves in the karst hills of Maros-Pangkep. At the time, it was believed this art had been left by early Neolithic farmers, making them about 4,000 years old. However, in 2014, an Australian-Indonesian team dated the Maros-Pangkep art for the first time using a uranium-series analysis of natural mineral coatings that had formed on some of the images. The earliest dated image yielded a minimum age of 40,000 years, making it compatible with cave art in Spain, the oldest known art in the world at the time. The Sulawesi art challenged the long-accepted story that the birthplace of human art and culture had been in Europe. The earliest painting, with a minimum age of 51, 200 years, is a scene portraying human-like figures interacting with a pig. It is the oldest cave art attributed to humans and the earliest known examples of visual storytelling in the world, providing crucial insights into the development of human cognition.&nbsp;

Discover the natural world through poetry at weekly pop-up events featuring the Field’s poet in residence.

Poetry Pop-up

A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.

Juneteenth marks the celebration of the end of chattel slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union forces declared victory over the Confederacy and announced that all formerly enslaved people were now free. Juneteenth stands as a powerful symbol&mdash;not only of liberation, but also of the long road toward healing and reconciliation.

If you're just learning about Juneteenth for the first time, here are some resources to help you begin exploring its history and significance.
