paleontologists began the study of the skeleton
crane spent about 17 years working at the field museum of natural history. following a postdoctoral research position at indiana university, bloomington, crane began in the field museum's geology department as assistant curator of paleobotany. from 1982 to 1992, he held a variety of curatorial positions in the department of geology. following a brief period as a vice-president of the museum, crane became director of the field museum in 1995. his tenure as director of the field museum saw strengthening of the museum's programs in collections and research as well as the creation of two cross departmental units, the center for cultural understanding and change, and the office of environmental and conservation programs. his time as director also included the acquisition of "sue," a well-preserved and almost complete tyrannosaurus rex skeleton. sue has since become an iconic fixture at the field museum.

the personified dinosaur, through sue's official twitter and field museum press releases, uses the singular "they" pronoun and identifies as non-binary, as the specimen's sex has not been determined. this has led to some calling sue a non-binary icon.
