Congratulations to Hominid Paleobiology students Andrew Zipkin, Amy Bauernfeind, and Katherine Schroer. Each recently received a Cosmos Scholar grant to support research in the upcoming year. Their projects are as follows:
Andrew M. Zipkin: Identification and Characterization of Archaeologically Relevant Malawian Ochre Deposits
Amy L. Bauernfeind: Energetics and Maturation of the Brain in Humans and Macaque Monkeys
Katherine E. Schroer: Geometric morphometric analysis of crown and root integration in molarized primate premolars
The Cosmos Scholar grant program program provides grants to meet specific research needs not covered by other supporting funds, including but not limited to special supplies, travel, and unanticipated expenses that would enhance the research being undertaken. More information can be found here
