Rebecca Banasiak, the Collections Assistant and Mammals Preparator, is teaming up with her volunteers to geek out over women in art and science. Expect a laid-back dive into how scientific and natural illustrations play matchmaker between paintbrushes and petri dishes, proving STEAM is more than just an acronym for people who can't pick a side.

They will break down the quirky materials and techniques behind scientific illustration, spill how those skills sneak into research papers without anyone noticing, and cap it off with a hands-on session where you try stippling. Think of it as doodling with a million tiny dots, the kind of patience test that makes you appreciate why scientists need artists to make their discoveries look pretty.
