Hello everyone and happy almost summer! My name is Jesse Miller, and I'm a junior Biology major/french minor at Saint Mary's College. I joined Dr. Young and the Locomotion Lab gang at the beginning of this semester and it’s been a blast! I’m currently working on the most recent turtle project that’s been ongoing since 2021. I’ve been doing a lot of research on comparative limb bone scaling and shape between Pleurodire and semi- aquatic Cryptodiran turtles. Right now we’re still in the process of running code in RStudio, which is a really great tool for data analysis (and also really fun to work with, others might disagree.) I was very interested in studying biomechanics after taking Dr. Young’s course in animal biomechanics and I'm excited to see what conclusion we come to with this project. I also had the opportunity to attend the Midwest Regional SICB conference in March, which was a great experience for myself and others in Dr. Young and Dr. Whitlow’s labs. I can’t wait to attend again next year!
