About this event
Come meet Rebecca Banasiak, Field Museum Collections Assistant & Chief Mammals Preparator, to learn more about Puma concolor coryi - the Florida panther - and how the Field Museum's Mammals Collection is helping Florida Fish & Wildlife in their conservation efforts to preserve the species. Visitors can view a real Florida panther specimen up close while discussing the differences between this unique species and other North American wild cats.
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.
