2023 Women in Science Luncheon at the Field Museum

Dr. Karen Oberhauser is the featured speaker at the Field Museum’s Women in Science Luncheon. She is the Director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum and a conservation biologist specializing in monarch butterfly conservation. Dr. Oberhauser’s research focuses on the impacts of climate change, predators, parasites, changes in land use, and insecticides on monarchs and their breeding, migratory, and wintering habitats. Now in its 23rd year, the Women in Science Luncheon initiative underwrites an array of opportunities for females in science.
