On May 14, 2024, the Women’s Board of the Field Museum will welcome conservation photojournalist Ami Vitale as its annual Women in Science Luncheon speaker.
Ami Vitale is a Nikon Ambassador and National Geographic photographer, writer, speaker and documentary filmmaker, and she has been named one of the most influential photographers of her generation. She has traveled to more than 100 countries, documenting the heartbreaking realities of war and the inspiring power of individuals making a difference.
Throughout the years, Ami has lived in mud huts and war zones, contracted malaria, and donned a panda suit— keeping true to her belief in the importance of “living the story.” Her award-winning work illuminates the unsung heroes and communities working to protect wildlife and preserve harmony in our natural world.
The Field Museum is dedicated to broadening opportunity and equity in the sciences. Field Museum scientists impact their disciplines not only by conducting groundbreaking research but also by providing meaningful opportunities to women pursuing scientific careers. The Women’s Board of the Field Museum, founded in 1966, raises funds for Women in Science programs at its annual luncheon celebrating female STEM leadership.
