About this event
Come meet Field Museum Associate Curator of Birds Shannon Hackett as we celebrate the opening of the Grainger Science Hub's newest exhibition, Kingfishers: Through Air and Water. Shannon will discuss her work surrounding kingfishers, with a special focus on the species that have evolved to expertly "plunge-dive" into water to catch a meal.
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.
