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. Last update: March 8, 2024 |
