Biology can be such a hoot! And not just for our department...
Students from the Myers School of Art recently pulled some artistic inspiration from this Great Horned Owl - just one of the many specimens in the department of Biology - The University of Akron's antique taxidermy collection! These artworks and more nature-inspired pieces are on display now outside the biology department office.
