Carl Cotton: Chicago's Original Black Taxidermist
Carl Cotton (1918 - 1971) was the Field Museum's first African American taxidermist - perhaps Chicago's first professional one - and his work can still be seen on display today. But for many years, we knew little about the extent of his contributions to the museum and the field of taxidermy as a whole.
Today, thanks to hours of research from Museum staff and through collaborations with Carl's family, we have a better picture of this creative and talented person and a deeper appreciation for his work. A special exhibition to honor Carl and his work is open until October 5, 2020.

The Field Museum isn't just home to specimens and artifacts: it's also home to the books and manuscripts that have shaped our understanding of the world's natural history. Today, we look at some of the 7,500 books in the Mary W. Runnells Rare Book Room!

The Brain Scoop teamed up with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science for a behind the scenes tour of the collections, and I had a blast talking to passionate people and also just wanting to LOOK AT EVERYTHING THERE WERE SO MANY DEAD THINGS AND ARCHIVES AND ART I SPENT SO MUCH TIME BOUNCING AND BEING EXCITED. It was really great. Museum collections are wonderful, they’re filled with wonderful people. Also, I’m posting all these dignified photos on social media but here’s my Actual Mood meeting Emily Graslie:
The Field Museum's Emily Graslie and Robb Telfer tell us about their mission to redefine natural beauty.

Why were Ancient Egyptians obsessed with cats?
Prob the same reason we are: they’re cute, and we all have parasites in our brains
Jk - but I didn’t expect the answer to be so morbid 💀
