New techniques to characterize materials at micro and nano scales have enhanced natural history research discovery. Paleontology, in particular, has benefited from advanced imaging techniques and characterization methods capable of analyzing small samples to understand biological and ecological systems in unprecedented detail. This talk will highlight recent work at the boundaries of paleontology, material sciences, bio-inspiration and wildlife conservation and explore avenues where the study of fossils contribute unique perspectives to modern problems.
The Millennium Café runs 10-11 am in the 3rd floor Café Commons of the MSC Bldg. Join researchers from across campus for a stellar cup of coffee and two <10 min interdisciplinary talks.
