Set your calendars, our next (and last in the series) Museumhive Meetup will feature virtual guest Emily Graslie. Emily is Chief Curiosity Correspondent at the Field Museum in Chicago, and stars in her own educational YouTube channel The Brain Scoop, listed on the New Media Rockstars top 100 Channels.

Hear from Emily her own perspective on how to build a social media presence among museum followers, and be prepared for an extended opportunity to ask her questions about the experience. If you've been thinking of attending a Museumhive, this is the chance -- our last Museumhive of the series funded by IMLS. Bring some friends, and hope to see you there!

Launched in January 2013, The Brain Scoop aims to share the research and collections work of natural history museums with a broad audience, and across a variety of digital platforms. To date, Emily and her team have created more than 170 videos, which have been viewed 18 million times by passionate learners from all over the world.

She has earned numerous accolades for her work, including multiple Webby Awards and a Gold MUSE Award from AAM's Media & Technology Professional Network. She was also the recent recipient of the 2017 Nancy Hanks Award from AAM. She has been listed among “Ten Women Who Changes the World” by Mental Floss, and The Guardian’s “Top 30 Young People in Digital Media.”
