Spent the morning at @fieldmuseum with 16 incredible AP Environmental Science students from North Side Prep. Our Collections Club members jumped right into the Bryophyte Collections Curation Blitz—helping preserve, curate, and rehouse historical moss specimens for long-term scientific research.

Museum Collections 💐 Glass Perfume Bottle

Researchers found this fragile bottle in a St. Augustine historic well. Because it was found in wet soil, the vial must be stored in water to keep it intact. 🎧 Listen to more with archaeologist Gifford Waters: https://t.co/4yVt7RhYDE
