Nature Lab rats

Every other week, tune in for a live-streamed discussion with an NHMLAC curator or researcher. Explore the newest research projects that continue to be conducted by museum staff, see rare specimens hand-picked by our presenter, and get your questions answered in real time. 

DR. Kayce Bell

Dr. Kayce Bell, Assistant Curator of Mammalogy, explored and celebrated the year of the rat by discussing rat diversity, how they have managed to be so successful in urban environments and how they earned a bad reputation as spreaders of the plague.
