For four weeks in May, five undergraduate researchers will be joining the lab as part of the University of Toronto’s Jackman Scholars-in-Residence Program. They’ll be helping to build the team’s emerging understandings of how these specimens have shaped scientific understandings of the planet’s past, present, and future. They will gain hands-on experience in digital historical research and analysis; data and project management; and will contribute to visual and narrative digital artifacts here on the project website.
