About this event
Meet Field Museum Senior Conservation Ecologist Lesley de Souza, featured scientist in the museum’s sixth and final installment of the exhibition series The Changing Face of Science. The exhibition highlights de Souza’s life and work as a child of Brazilian immigrants, a mother, ichthyologist, and conservation biologist. It follows her career from being the only woman on an expedition to leading the largest multidisciplinary scientific expedition to Guyana's rainforest in 2024.
Stop by the Grainger Science Hub to meet Lesley and hear about her work with the Keller Science Action team and their conservation impact in the Andes 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.
