Meet a Scientist: Marty Pryzdia, Invertebrates Collections Assistant

Come learn about the vast diversity of specimens within the Field's Invertebrates collection, what it takes to maintain these incredible specimens, and the importance of collection management in supporting scientific research around the world.

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.
