At this point, given that Dany's had some time to warm up to Aramis, she would be able to charm her way into a tour of the facility where they work. This would be the kind of tour that is offered to a member of the public rather than a fellow scientist, however, so she wouldn't be allowed to see any of the ongoing research up-close. It would be more along the lines of being shown lab spaces from a distance (with a glass wall between her and the work area, for instance) while her tour guide (probably just Aramis) gives generalized overviews of the work being done. As Aramis' tracker work suggests, the scientists here are taking samples of mutated animals that have been found, both in Antarctica and elsewhere, and trying to determine how they evolved or mutated into their current forms.
When asked about the animals roaming around the city, none of the other researchers would say anything about it, but Aramis might show her some footage they took themselves -- off the record. They'll be brief videos of some of the gold creatures that Aramis found while searching around New Amsterdam, mainly from a distance as they wanted to observe their behavior first before trying to capture them.
They will say that they've managed to get their hands on some of them, and have noticed that many of the animals' features don't necessarily make sense in an evolutionary way. For example, he'll show a video of a reptilian creature that has the eating habits of a mammal - which is absolutely unusual. Reptiles, especially in the cooler temperatures around New Amsterdam that are currently present, tend to have slower metabolisms that require them to eat far less food. Aramis' biologist friends are doing some further experiments on the creatures, while also trying to sustain them on a diet that includes some of the greenery from around the city (which they've observed does, in fact, prolong the golden-eyed creatures' lives, even if they are typically carnivorous-seeming creatures).
