Resources

Working with Field Museum outreach specialist Dan Brinkmeier, our education and outreach efforts includes producing posters—often in local or trade languages—that help explain the Field Museum’s work, conservation principals, disease ecology, and health information. A selection of such materials can be downloaded below in pdf format.

FEATURED! Holly Lutz produced a beautiful poster describing the Field Museum's Emerging Pathogens Project. Much of the field work for this project has taken place in Africa (but see the map on poster for the full and impressive geographic breadth of the sampling).
