Ask A Taxonomist…Between Two Ferns

Tuesday, November 19

 3:00–4:00 p.m. 

Perelman Building

The Art Information Commons (AIC) team invites you to Ask a Taxonomist…Between Two Ferns. A riff on comedian Zach Galifinakis’ Funny or Die series Between Two Ferns and the social media hashtag #askacurator, we will conduct an interview with Bree Midavaine (Taxonomist) who works with the museum’s Library and Archives on the AIC initiative.

Juliet Vinegra (AIC Project Manager) will pose questions, sent by staff and external colleagues, asking Bree about what, exactly, a taxonomist does, her role in the Art Information Commons initiative, and general knowledge management.

This is a chance to ask your burning questions–even if it is “What is a taxonomist?”

Please RSVP and submit your questions here. Even if you cannot attend, we encourage you to follow along on Twitter @LandAatPMA or ask us for a recording of the event.
