About this event

Come join NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Zoe Kulik, as she showcases her work on Dicynodonts, a 240 million year old mammal relative!

Along with Ken Angielczyk, Field Museum Curator of Paleomammalogy, Zoe wil discuss her research on a Dicynodont Fossil Bonebed; learning how these animals lived, adapted, grew and eventually died.

Scientists, researchers, and collections managers are behind the scenes every day, uncovering new information and taking care of our collection.

During Meet a Scientist, you can find them in the Grainger Science Hub. They'll discuss their work and share real items from the museum’s collection of nearly 40 million objects. From collections care to field work, and dinosaurs to ecology, there’s a world of science to explore.

Visit the Science Hub on select weekdays for an up-close look at what our researchers do every day.
