My favorite thing about Emily is when she says "This is amazing!" She says it frequently and you can tell that she always, always means it. It's really nice to see her constant enthusiasm.
I didn't realize that the designers of the mechanical aspects of exhibits worked in the museums and such. I always figured they were made by outside contractors. Very interesting, thanks for showing this.
It really depends on the museum, and a lot of installed things like interactives are typically contracted out elsewhere; but the Field is pretty unique in that we can do a lot of stuff in-house, which makes for an awesome collaborative process between our scientists and the exhibition staff.
It seems to me that that collaboration aspect would be especially helpful, since you're working with people who themselves would be invested in the exhibit, as opposed to having to create the idea yourself and merely have it built elsewhere. Also, thank you very much for responding and being present in comments. Getting an even greater understanding of the nuances involved in exhibition creation is awesome for me.
***** Until recently, I worked in the Museum world doing very similar work to what Bob does. My experience has always been with outside contractors, but I assumed there had to be a few places that did their own work in-house. It's so great to get to see this video and to know of at least one place that does work in-house. Does the Field Museum also design all of their exhibits/graphics internally as well?
***** That explains how she can wear latex gloves for a long time without getting uncomfortable. My hands are pretty hot, so I can't stand wearing latex gloves for more than a few minutes. And even then, I have to wear XL size gloves otherwise I feel like my hands are drowning.
I've always wanted to get an art degree, but have constantly been told it's impossible to ever get a job, but this gives me hope that I can study what I love, and still get a really cool, interesting job, even if it's not directly related.
I love how art, technology, and science combine to form really cool machines and experiences. How his art experience and technology background allow him to do such interesting things is amazing!! So awesome! I'm in highschool and he's one of my new role models!
This is SO COOL! I could play with those fish-jaw models all day. Fish have fantastically complicated head skeletons (especially the jaws) compared to mammals. Many fish have a second set of jaws (with teeth) in the throat!
SOON! I missed you! ^^ But really, after a quick trip to the Field Museum a week or two ago, the intro is so much more amazing. Wish I'd gone to the Biomechanics exhibit, though. Lovely :3
Thank you for sharing to the public this part of museums. I don't do well in static exhibits, I get bored quickly So I find the interactive parts really interesting.
This is the coolest. I never thought about exhibits and how they were made: for some reason, I assumed the mechanics would be ordered from somewhere else and brought in rather than someone at the museum making the stuff. Again, super cool.
When I worked at a science museum I would always bring ice cubes to the thermal camera. Then I would draw a beard and mustache on my face, and maybe on one of the kids. Good times...
I thought it was odd that they both had on sunglasses during the thermal camera bits. Then they switch to the normal light spectrum and I realize they're both wearing normal eye glasses. Now I feel silly...
You should have titled the episode "Cold Hands, Warm Heart" after the old William Shatner Outer Limits episode. The shop was one of my favorite places to sneak a visit when I worked at a science museum. The odors of cutting plastic and exotic glues told you there was some new bit of magic being brought to life by the crew in the basement.
In the beginning I was thinking: "Omg fucking hipsters! Wearing sunglasses indoors". But then I realized that it was just nerds shown in infra-red! I LOVE YOU EMILY!
Ms Emily please for all that is science will you show us some brains :( need some brains in them awesome animal dissections. O and also from seeing you in the sci show i never imagined how epic your job was your awesome!
I have horrible circulation, too. Is this the exhibit with the Dionaea biomechanics? If so, I need to see this, since I breed and rescue them from destroyed sites. Also, fish have the coolest/weirdest mouths.
If I was going to be working with my hands, not in orthopedic surgery, this is the kind of stuff I'd want to be doing! I wish I'd learned some basics with processors and sensors and those kind of electronics to engineer machines like the ones here
I'm pretty sure if you're in orthopaedics you could branch off into some field of biomedical engineering involving prosthetics and combine surgery (which I'm assuming you also love) with electronics and mechanical engineering.
i would like to see the material that has been clipped that guy working on the lathe at the end looked interesting. i would also like to see Emliy give it a try.
Interactives are always my favorite part of a museum. I get excited like a 4 year old instead of a 34 year old. I like buttons. I enjoyed this. :)
Bob and the Replicator dude should totally have their own joint channel where they show us how things are made. It's really so cool.

Why does EVERYONE at the Field Museum have the COOLEST JOB IN THE WORLD??!?!?!?!?
in this episode we find out that emily is one of the ice princesses from Frozen
The episode where we get to admire how hot Emily is. Literally.
I think she looked pretty "cool"
her knowledge of things makes her hot, but her ability to do those things in a hands on environment just makes her down right cool =D
NickBlackDIN Anything she puts her hands on will be cool...
***** That explains how she can wear latex gloves for a long time without getting uncomfortable. My hands are pretty hot, so I can't stand wearing latex gloves for more than a few minutes. And even then, I have to wear XL size gloves otherwise I feel like my hands are drowning.
I love how interesting, enthusiastic, and positive this show is!
Wow, that bone machine is way more complicated than it initially looks
I've always wanted to get an art degree, but have constantly been told it's impossible to ever get a job, but this gives me hope that I can study what I love, and still get a really cool, interesting job, even if it's not directly related.
Proof that glasses are totally cool.
I love how art, technology, and science combine to form really cool machines and experiences. How his art experience and technology background allow him to do such interesting things is amazing!! So awesome! I'm in highschool and he's one of my new role models!
I have an art degree, LET ME BUILD FISH MODELS!!
I love how excited Emily gets when he asks if she wants to see the back.
That looks like SO MUCH FUN! =D
If I had a job like that, museum security would have to drag me out of there or I wouldn't go home in the evening.
it's so cool to meet the people behind the exhibits I like to mess with lol
I thought Emily had the coolest job ever but now that I have seen what Bob does, I am not so sure anymore...
Plot twist: Soon Raccoon lights up like a Christmas tree when viewed with the FLIR cam.
DUN DUN DUN
omg never stop making videos okay every single one is flawless
Now I really want to see something change state through the heat sensing camera. Maybe ice melting or water boiling??
I was already looking forward to the biomechanics exhibit, but now I really need to plan my next trip to the Field! Thanks for the sneak peak!!
I love how happy people on these things are just to have someone interested in what they doing.
We meet again mr. racoon.
you saw him too
jaspertkoop
You can find him hiding in many of the episodes if you look carefully.
This is SO COOL!
I could play with those fish-jaw models all day.
Fish have fantastically complicated head skeletons (especially the jaws) compared to mammals. Many fish have a second set of jaws (with teeth) in the throat!
SOON! I missed you! ^^
But really, after a quick trip to the Field Museum a week or two ago, the intro is so much more amazing. Wish I'd gone to the Biomechanics exhibit, though. Lovely :3
Next to Emily's, Bob has the best job at the museum!
I love these behind-the-scenes videos.
Emily McFrostyhands.
This is one of the best videos ever!
Thank you for sharing to the public this part of museums. I don't do well in static exhibits, I get bored quickly
So I find the interactive parts really interesting.
This is the coolest. I never thought about exhibits and how they were made: for some reason, I assumed the mechanics would be ordered from somewhere else and brought in rather than someone at the museum making the stuff. Again, super cool.
Great to see this part of the museum!
Loved this episode, hopefully you'll make more similar ones,it'd be awesome! :)
What a nice guy.
FLIR, Mechanics, and Interactive Education! This is SO my cup of tea!
When I worked at a science museum I would always bring ice cubes to the thermal camera. Then I would draw a beard and mustache on my face, and maybe on one of the kids. Good times...
Interactives was one of my favorite behind the scene places on the Member Night tour.
I thought it was odd that they both had on sunglasses during the thermal camera bits. Then they switch to the normal light spectrum and I realize they're both wearing normal eye glasses. Now I feel silly...
How do I get notified that the travelling museum is coming to Seattle?
At 1:30 you can see a really great caricature on left side of the circuit board.

this dude is my new hero, i want his job.
Lovely to see one scientist thrilled by a different field of science. :D
I love how Soon Racoon is just sat there being all "Hey, this is cool..."
Really, we just need to have people say how cool everything is, like this!
This is awesome. Loved the video
Damn if I'm ever there, I am SO going to that museum.
Wow, he has a really cool job
thats is literally the coolest thing ever!
In the beginning I was thinking: "Omg fucking hipsters! Wearing sunglasses indoors".
But then I realized that it was just nerds shown in infra-red!
I LOVE YOU EMILY!
Ms Emily please for all that is science will you show us some brains :( need some brains in them awesome animal dissections. O and also from seeing you in the sci show i never imagined how epic your job was your awesome!
Some people call it a Kaiser jaw, I call it a sling jaw.
Was that soon raccoon that I saw hanging out in the background? Perhaps you could get the guys in the interactive shop to make him animatronic.
That is the coolest job ever.
I wonder what these interactives go after the exhibitions end. I believe the exhibits go back to the storage but the interactives, where do they go?
Emily, your hands are so cold! Never mind, you know what they say - "cold hands, warm heart". Your heart must be as warm as toast.
Oh my shit I want this to be my job!
I would think that for a museum, the display maker, would count as a very important job.
I have terrible circulation in my hands too! I love playing with those heat sensor cameras.
Wanna see the back part? YEAH! like a kid in a candy store...
Now that's just cool!
This is so awesome. Intern me Bob!
that guy has the coolest job ever
your fingers are so coooooold Emily
So cool! I wanna work there!
Love Bob's heat fu man chu.
SOON RACOON!
Has the Raccoon been in every video? Because I haven't noticed at all.
He's been in every single video.
I love the brain scoop
I have horrible circulation, too.
Is this the exhibit with the Dionaea biomechanics? If so, I need to see this, since I breed and rescue them from destroyed sites. Also, fish have the coolest/weirdest mouths.
SO COOL AAAAAAAAAAHH
So the bones of those fish are actually arranged like that??
if it's international I really hope that it comes to New Zealand (and not just Auckland) ;A;
If I was going to be working with my hands, not in orthopedic surgery, this is the kind of stuff I'd want to be doing! I wish I'd learned some basics with processors and sensors and those kind of electronics to engineer machines like the ones here
I'm pretty sure if you're in orthopaedics you could branch off into some field of biomedical engineering involving prosthetics and combine surgery (which I'm assuming you also love) with electronics and mechanical engineering.
I was glad when he showed his hands too.
Kept waiting for the red triangular aiming reticule to show up
I need to get in front of one of those cameras. Pretty sure I have poor circulation in my body as well, it'd be nice to know WHERE it is.
that looks like a REALLY fun job. :)
What a great guy
I *WANT* a camera like that!
i would like to see the material that has been clipped that guy working on the lathe at the end looked interesting. i would also like to see Emliy give it a try.
Omg, i really thought that mr. Belote had a huuuge mustache, from the images feom the heat camera!
This was neat!
So cool!
Your guys' mouths look so weird on the infrared camera! Great ep!!!!
This was so awesome, interactive is so cool. Your hands are so cold Emily, so very, very cold.
Now we have scientific data demonstrating the fact that Emily's earrings are cool.
is it me or does the guy look like that other guy from gangdam styyle in the thermal cam?
Thanks for talking! :-)
How old is Bobby? He looks really young!
Actually cold extremities are a cold weather adaptation to keep your core warm.
cold hands, warm heart...
what a cool guy
Soon Racoon is everywhere. He loves to learn I guess.
Now I want a heat-sensitive camera to see how cold my hands are since they're always freezing.
Emily *Cold Fingers* Graslie
That's quite the badass nickname.
Very cool
so cool
Does he need a minion? I would make a good minion. I'm willing to settle for lackey, if it means I get to play with the things.
so the museum is just an amusement park with a science theme xD
