Let’s make shapes! (With bones!) Join two of our grad students in a 2-session introductory workshop for geometric morphometrics on March 2nd and 9th from 5 to 6:30 pm. Email Fiona and/or Nell for more information.

The flyer shows an example of the technique with a visual representation that looks like a fish outlined with lines and points and mapped onto a grid. End description.]
