RESEARCH INTERESTS
My scholarly interests these days are centered around running the GVSU plastination lab The lab processed its first specimens in the fall of 2013, and in the past 5 years we have produced more than 275 plastinated specimens (plastinates). The production of high-quality plastinates begins with careful dissection of each specimen, and most of the dissections are carried out by undergraduates and a few graduate students. The specimens we produce are used primarily in courses taught by the BMS and BIO departments at GVSU, but we are also involved in producing plastinated specimens for several outside institutions, including several schools of veterinary medicine. Students in the lab will, therefore, be working with a wide variety of vertebrates, including humans. There are limited opportunities for participation until F2019, but I welcome anyone with a strong interest in vertebrate anatomy and a talent for careful dissection.
