The Locomotion and Whitlow Labs teamed up to head to Chicago for the Midwest rSICB meeting in early April. Hana and Emily reflect on their experiences below:
Hana: This past weekend the locomotion lab, in conjunction with Dr. Whitlow’s lab, had the opportunity to attend the Midwest Regional SICB Conference at the University of Chicago! It was a great experience for not only myself, but for others who had never attended a conference before. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the national conference, I enjoyed how much more relaxed it was compared to the national SICB conference. At this conference, I presented my summer research/ senior comprehensive poster looking into the effects of flow on filtering and gaping behavior in M. galloprovinciallis. During my presentation, I got to meet other undergraduate researchers and had the chance to speak with professors from other institutions. This conference was such a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to present again in the future! Emily: This past weekend the Whitlow lab and locomotion lab attended rSICB at UChicago. It was a fun filled weekend full of fantastic talks from sloth vertebrae to mudskipper blinking. Having been to the national conference in Austin, Texas, I was also able to reconnect with some of the friends that I made there, and also meet lots of new people. During the conference we were also able to tour some of the spaces at UChicago; the anatomy lab, fossil lab, and the XROMM facility. All of which were very cool experiences especially the fossil lab where we were able to see many dinosaur, turtle, and fish fossils! Overall this conference was one to remember and the best people to be nerds with! Comments are closed.
