The exhibition shares O'Connor's path to science, and also highlights her passions outside paleontology – such as music and sustainability.
It features pieces from O'Connor's childhood sketchbooks and replica antiques from Chinese markets – as well as fossils related to her research. One such fossil is a cast of prehistoric bird signed by Greg Graffin, an evolutionary biologist and lead singer in Bad Religion for whom O'Connor named the species, the Field Museum said.
O'Connor explained how her other interests contribute to her scientific work. She said she addresses sustainability anytime the Field Museum gives her a"soapbox." "One thing that's always bothered me is that even though other scientists should be aware of all the issues and the consequences of our actions, and, you know, the costs of all human consumption, but they really don't seem to reflect that in their behavior. I constantly see other scientists using throwaway water bottles, and driving their cars with the air conditioning on and the windows open. And these things – they really frustrate me," O'Connor said.
O'Connor spoke with Edwards remotely while wearing a T-shirt with a T. Rex on it – the dinosaur, not the classic glam rock band fronted by Marc Bolan. But the T. Rex is not O'Connor's favorite dinosaur.
