| Bone of the Week
|
| Each
week at the end of our lab group meeting, we hear a short 15 minute presentation
on cool skeletal and evolutionary features of different organisms, interesting
skeletal diseases, or other topics broadly related to people's general curiosity
about biology and the history of life on earth.
|
|
|
| Topics
are chosen, researched, and presented by all lab members on a rotating basis.
A sampling of recent topics is shown below. |
