About this event
Come join Field Museum Collection Assistant and Chief Mammals Preparator, Rebecca Banasiak and celebrate International Red Panda Day!
Examine red panda study skins, skulls and artwork to explore how these popular but elusive animals live in the wild. From being a mostly vegetarian mammal within the family Carnivora, to having false thumbs; red pandas have many evolutionary secrets to uncover!
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.
