Meet a Scientist: Textile Tales

Join members of the Field Museum Anthropology Registrar Team to view new Anthropology accessions and learn about the handling and processing of cultural material. Members of the team will feature textiles and fashion from the Anthropology collection and share their cultural significance.

Staff in attendance include Emma Turner-Trujillo, Anthropology Assistant Registrar; Jada Whiterock, Mellon Fellow; Taylor Hummel, Mellon Fellow; Caleigh Mason, Regenstein Intern; Charlotte Willard, African/Eurasia Intern.

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.
