Join Luis Muro Ynonan, Field Museum Curator Path Research Scientist, to explore new archaeological discoveries recovered from his excavations in Northern Peru. Learn how, through the use of cutting-edge technology, archaeologists are able to reconstruct ancient peoples' lives offering an insight into the emergence of complex religion in the area and how societies have changed across history.

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.
