Join C2ST and Dr. Janet Voight of the Field Museum for our first ever Science and Sandwiches Program! On the first Friday of every month, we will be sitting down with an expert during the lunch hour to chat about life, about science, careers, a day on the job, and whatever else you’re interested in learning about them–within reason, anyways.

Dr. Janet Voight is the Women’s Board Associate Curator for Invertebrate Zoology at the Field Museum who specializes in researching cephalopod mollusks, like octopuses. Dr. Voight’s work examines all organisms that call the deep-sea home, and she herself has been on 22 deep-sea expeditions, including a handful of trips to the seafloor aboard the HOV Alvin. Beyond her research endeavors, Dr. Voight is an expert at collecting, classifying and preserving deep sea organisms.  At C2ST, we believe that access to experts is important in ensuring that science is for everyone, which is why we want to host these conversations. We encourage you to grab some grub, make yourself comfortable, tune into the conversation, and if you’re up for it, ask a question.
