About this event
Meet scientists from the Keller Science Action Center and hear about the results of their latest rapid biological inventory in South America. See some of the specimens they collected, the tools used for conducting field work, and hear about the critical impact these conservation efforts have had in the Amazon.
Don’t miss our special presentation with award-winning children’s author Jennifer Swanson, in conversation with Field Museum Senior Conservation Ecologists, as they explore her latest book, 3 Weeks in the Rainforest: A Rapid Inventory in the Amazon.
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.
