Emily Graslie Launches ‘Natural News’ Series


In addition to its staff of scientists, the Field Museum also has a Chief Curiosity Correspondent. She started a video blog called “The Brain Scoop” that's become a YouTube sensation with more than 350,000 subscribers from around the world.

Now Emily Graslie has a new web show called “Natural News” in which she explores more stories of scientific discovery from the Field.
