Ready for the FL📍sunshine!

This fall I will be pursuing a PhD in Physiological Sciences at the University of Florida. I will be expanding upon my current work on 3D printing vertebrate skulls to now modelling avian lungs.

Forever a Coyote, but soon to be a Gator!

@ramonglez57 Absolutely! Attached below are some of the images from my Poster Presentation. Dr. Christopher Anderson at the University of South Dakota is my research mentor and tweeted this out a few months ago.

3D printing is one of the coolest technologies there is! I can't wait to print my next research piece!

I am inspired almost daily by these videos from Ramón. Thank you Ramón!

@ramonglez57 The end goal of my project is to eventually release the files I have been working with to an open source forum so other educators and students can utilize them for learning as well!

Some stuff @AlexisSlack6 has been working on this summer in the lab. A segmented volume rendering of a male Trioceros johnstoni skull µCT & a partially completed 3D printed model of it articulated together. Still a bit of work to go but making nice progress on it!
