Changing Face of Science exhibition highlights ‘Punk Rock Paleontologist,’ Field Museum Dino Curator Jingmai O’Connor, PhD
Changing Face of Science is a series that highlights women and/or scientists of color who are breaking barriers in their field to challenge the typical idea of who can be a scientist.

It features pieces from O’Connor’s personal collections, including her childhood sketchbook and replica antiques purchased in Chinese markets. It also features fossils related to her research, like a cast of prehistoric bird Qiliania graffini signed by Greg Graffin, evolutionary biologist and lead singer in Bad Religion, for whom O’Connor named the species.
