Well, they actually have jobs aside from helping the FBI. The lab and the staff were there before they began helping the Feds.

She is generally working on something when a dead body shows up and her other work gets put on the backburner (since it's usually centuries old, so 47 minutes more won't hurt anything.)

Jobs doing what? -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:17 15
- Doing whatever anthropologists do. All I know is it usually involves a table full of 500 year old bones or something. -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 13:19
- The Jeffersonian has a huge backlog of anthropological material to work through -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:18 13
  - like what? can't be Native American, that was all repatriated. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:20 11
    - In the room where they have the bones on the table for X-rays and such, there's an entire wall with tupperware boxes of bones -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:21
    - Well, she is the foremost expert in her field. She does travel the world doing anthropological stuff. -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 13:20 9
      - that stuff lives in museums and universities. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:22 7
        
        uh, I think the Jeffersonian Institute is also a museum. As evidenced by some of the museum-like events they've had. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:23 4
        
        Exactly. Apparently, the Smithsonian won't let them use the name...so it's the Jeffersonian on the show. - Jim Feb 14, 13:24 3
        
        well, a Smithsonian with private funding -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:25
        
        the Smithsonian is, as far as I know, the only place remotely analogous, so that makes sense. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:25 1
        
        You mean tv shows are exactly like real life? - pmb Feb 14, 13:43
        
        Well she is employed by the "Jeffersonian"...which is essentially the Smithsonian. I think that's a museum. -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 13:23 1
        
        OIC. fair enuff. I have not watched it much, clearly. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:24
      - Maybe we should just get loosi to email Kathy Reichs and ask ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:21
  - (They have shown "the vault" a few times) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:19
