Shoals Marine Lab 2009 Summer Course: Anatomy & Function of Marine Vertebrates <http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_cc_anatfunc.html> Dates: June 8-22, 2009 Credits: 4 (issued through Cornell University)
Course limit: 15 students (undergraduates, graduate students, professionals, teachers) Application and scholarship deadline: 15 February 2009 Cost (tuition, room, board, boat transportation, fees): $4,372 Anatomy & Function of Marine Vertebrates<http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_cc_anatfunc.html> The Shoals Marine Laboratory (run jointly by Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire on Appledore Island, Maine) invites applications to its summer field course on the anatomy and function of marine vertebrates. The course is designed to introduce students to a comparative study of the principal organ systems of vertebrates (i.e., *fishes, sea turtles, marine birds, marine mammals*) that are specifically adapted to the marine environment. Rather than focusing only on description of anatomical structure, the anatomy of structures will be integrated with function, biological role, and evolutionary relationships. Laboratory exercises cover osteology, dissection, behavior and biomechanics. *Faculty*: Dr. Frank Fish <http://darwin.wcupa.edu/%7Ebiology/fish/> Department of Biology, West Chester University Dr. Willy Bemis <http://www.eeb.cornell.edu/Bemis/default.html> Cornell University, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology AND Director, Shoals Marine Laboratory Join students at the Shoals Lab from all over the US and the world in studying on Appledore Island this summer. Financial aid and scholarships are available. Apply early to receive first consideration for aid. Paid research internships<http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_students_internships.html>are also available to undergraduates: deadline Feb. 15, 2009 For more information: [email protected] <[email protected]><[email protected]>(Tel: 607-255-3717).
