Meet a Scientist: Guyana Rapid Inventory Return

Meet Field Museum scientists who have just returned from conducting Rapid Inventories in the Guyanese Amazon rainforest and learn what they found during these expeditions. Discover what Rapid Inventories are and why they are essential to conservation efforts. 

Presenters include Lesley de Souza, Lead Conservation Scientist; Cameron Rutt, Conservation Ecologist; Jeremy Campbell, Andes-Amazon Program Director

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.
