Meet Emma Turner-Trujillo, Assistant Registrar in Anthropology, and Registration Interns Franny Brady and Sarah Leilani Sissum, as they showcase the Field Museum’s newest acquisitions in anthropology. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the methods used by the registrar team to process new collection items and learn about the history of these objects.

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.
