Previous Next / Andie Carrillo manages the Zoology Prep Lab, where she prepares skins, skeletons, tissues, parasites, and other vertebrate materials for the zoology collections. Her primary job involves preparing hundreds of specimens a year, ranging in size from hummingbirds to giraffes. She also trains new volunteers on vertebrate prep techniques and engages in public outreach. The prep lab Andie manages is well-stocked and ready for animals of all sizes. It includes a dermestarium in which bones are prepared, two hoods for working with chemicals, and a necropsy table for our extra-large specimens.
