Mollie Kreb-Mertig: Mollie is a Wisconsin native with an abundance of significant life experiences in the outdoors. From a young age, Mollie experienced the sense of wonder in nature through regular outings with her parents, where she soaked up all that she could learn. Her cherished memories of collecting bits and pieces of nature to take home and study led to an interest in promoting similar learning opportunities for others. "Cabinet of Curiosities" offers Mollie's perspective as Curator at the Cable Natural History Museum, and articles share her thoughts on what we as individuals and as an institution collect, the life of those collections, and how these collections will hold meaning into the future.
