Students Present Research From The Paleontology
These topics and more were the focus of posters presented May 4, 2017 in the Geological Museum as the culmination of Botany 1101: Paleontology's Great Debates.Were dinosaurs warm blooded or cold blooded?
Why did Carnotaurus have such wimpy arms?
What caused the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction?
What did our early human ancestors eat?
Over the course of a semester focused on finding, evaluating, and synthesizing scientific information, first year seminar students chose their favorite paleontological controversy, researched it, and designed a poster that presented multiple sides of the controversy, picked a side, and then proposed next research steps. Lively discussions were had around all posters.
