Medical students perform research of their own conception at OSU COM Cherokee Nation β CT and MRI imaging, visual system modeling. fluid mechanics. and musculoskelatal simulations. Initial research leads to full rotations, essential for many residencies. These wonderful folks are now doctors!

Andy Danison 3D-scans an Allosaurus forelimb for testing its likely predatory function, at the Natural History Museum of Utah. Andy and Colin Boisvert are turning us into both the "rex" and the "other" (Allo-) Lab. Thanks to Alyson Wilkins here, and to Carrie Levitt for the picture!

Edmontosaurus forelimb muscles
A happy lab convergence now on forelimb muscle function β Amanda Pennings on horses, Kyle Atkins-Weltman on quadrupedal dinosaurs, and Andy Danison on Allosaurus and other theropods. Witness Kyle's model of two muscles in the duckbilled dinosaur Edmontosaurus.
