Bringing Research to Light: How Collections Can Tell the Stories of Our Scientists

Monday, September 30, 2024
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM US CDT
Location: S105A
Panel
Natural History Museum collections contain a wealth of information that guides research, drives scientific discovery, and gives us valuable insights. We will discuss the importance of these collections to the audience and the research that our museum affiliated scientists offer an educational experience that sparks inquiry for each visitor. Collections serve our scientists to inform discoveries and to provide data that can be reexamined. The interpretation of collections for natural history museum has also evolved, with opportunities for understanding of objects, the source of their acquisition, and the context for which we understand the relevance of these treasured objects.
