Fossil Hunter Michelle Barboza on Becoming Visible

Watch more with these video collections:

The University of Florida’s Florida Museum of Natural History celebrated 100 years of inspiring people to care about life on Earth in 2017. To mark the closing of an era and the beginning of a new century, UF News profiled three Florida Museum women who are shaping the research institution’s future and breaking the cycle of stereotypes and misconceptions in the world of science. With modern tools like social media and podcasts, they continue the work of past and current museum women, who have fought for equality in their fields and for the visibility of women in science.

In this Becoming Visible video series and site, we meet Fossil Hunter Michelle Barboza, above, a Los Angeles native and graduate student who ‘accidentally’ became a scientist because of her love for the outdoors. Her podcast Femmes of STEM celebrates women who are scientists in the past with women who are scientists in the present.
