About this event
Meet Maxwell London, Collections Assistant in Herpetology, and check out unique frog specimens from the museum’s collections. Discover how adaptations over time have resulted in some truly bizarre frogs and understand the importance of frogs to the ecosystems of the world. You’ll learn how frogs are a critical part of the food web and how they are often used as bioindicators due to their extreme sensitivity to environmental changes.
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.
