When the Brain Scoop debuted at the beginning of this year, Emily Graslie was an unpaid volunteer curator for the Philip L. Wright Zoological Museum in Missoula, Montana. Fascinating webseries covering all aspects of the natural history museum sciences (from taxonomy and evolutionary theory to the acquisition and preparation of animal specimens) garnered the attention of the world famous Chicago Field Museum, and now she’s been offered a job there as Chief Curiosity Correspondent, with leave to continue The Brain Scoop using their own vast collection. Emily gets to hang out with Sue the T-rex, but we’ll have to settle for reading Sue’s tweets and watching Emily’s videos.
