Behind the scenes at the ROM, there is an army of scientists - curators, technicians, students, and educators, who all help to bring the museum and its collections to life. For Science Literacy Week (Sept. 21-27, 2015), we are highlighting some of these scientists and their work in a series of short videos, where we asked them “why do you do what you do?”
