Meet a Scientist: Plant Pollination

Meet a Scientist at the Field Museum turns the spotlight on plant pollination, with Collections Manager Kimberly Hanson and Collections Assistant Chrissy Christian leading the conversation. They’ll explain what pollination actually is, why pollinators matter, and how flowers support their ecosystems — then dig into real fruits and seeds to show how plants adapt to different pollinators. It’s a solid midweek option for anyone curious about the science happening behind the museum’s exhibits, running Wednesday, August 12, from 11 AM to 1 PM. Included with regular admission.
