What happens at the museum when we are closed to the public? Chris Stinson, Curatorial Assistant of Mammals, Reptiles, and Amphibians in the Cowan Tetrapod Collection at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, has been checking on the collections and important equipment while the museum has been closed. He is going to take us behind the scenes today and share his experience checking on things at the museum during the closure. He may even take some time to tell us more about one of his favourite mammals, martens.
