Biography
Graslie was born in Rapid City, South Dakota.[1] She earned her bachelor's degree in studio art from the University of Montana in 2011. As a part of that program, she interned at the Philip L. Wright Zoological Museum in her senior year.[2] The Museum has a wide collection of specimens including slugs, turtles, bats, pack rats, fish, and birds.[3][2] Journalists have described the collection as "quirky."[4] Unlike many other natural history and zoological museums, the Philip L. Wright Zoological Museum is mostly a research facility and does not have exhibits for the public. Graslie became a full-time curatorial assistant after she graduated. Currently, she is the only full-time staff member at the Museum.[2] Her work covers a wide variety of areas. She cleans new specimens, gives tours, trains new interns, and acts as a teaching assistant for a class at the University of Montana.[5] She is working on her masters in Museum Studies at Johns Hopkins University.[1]
YouTube
Graslie first appeared on YouTube in Hank Green's December 7, 2012 VlogBrothers video.[6] In the video, she showed Green a wide variety of the specimens in the lab. Because of her ease in front of the camera, enthusiasm, and fan comments, Graslie was offered her own YouTube channel, "The Brain Scoop", as a part of the Nerdfighter family.[7] The series debuted in January of 2013. Her work on the series has been described by journalists as "articulate and hilarious" as well as enthusiastic.[2][8]
