Hello,

The Field Museum of Natural History would like to introduce you to its online science program: expeditions@fieldmuseum™. This online program, now in its second year, allows participants to follow Museum scientists as they conduct fieldwork around the world. These modern-day explorers illuminate the scientific discovery process through email dispatches from the field and a companion website that features video reports, expedition photographs, interactive maps, and research details.

Our October expedition features Mammal Collections Manager Bill Stanley. Through emails, photographs, and videos, Bill provides a rare behind-the-scenes tour of The Field Museum as he guides you through the mammal preparation and collection management processes.

We would be delighted if you would like to announce our program or add a link to expeditions@fieldmuseum from your site.
