About this event
Have you ever dreamt of a better version of Goop? Stickier, more slimy, more goopy. One single trait of your DNA will release a slimier version of Goop. This is…The Substance! Come join the Division of Fishes team to see the fish, amphibians and reptiles that produce Goop in different ways! All to eat, respond to threats, or have slippery and goopy skin!
Staff members on hand include Susan Mochel, Assistant Collections Manager, Fishes; Andrew Gallardo, Collection Technician, Fishes; Josh Mata, Family Learning Programs Assistant, Education; Sophie Picq, Postdoctoral Scientist Science Action Center, Fishes Collections.
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.
