A virtual whale necropsy is available to the public via the UAS Whale Lab Website <https://uas.alaska.edu/research/whalelab/>.
This resource consists of sequential 3D scans of a dead whale from discovery through a necropsy examination to assess the possible cause of death, and decomposition (time is the 4th dimension, not smell, as some have suggested!). We include also a workshop version suitable for small groups middle school through adult that takes about 90 minutes. This is a freely available resource funded by NIH through the University of Alaska Fairbanks and we hope it is useful for many different purposes. We encourage you to share with anyone who might be interested. Thank you to everyone who provided valuable feedback and we look forward to more feedback (via the form linked in the necropsy) as we continue to make additions and corrections. -- Ellen Chenoweth, Ph.D. Program Director UAS Rural Alaska Students in One-Heath Research (RASOR) https://rasor.alaska.edu/ UAF Research Advising and Mentoring Professional Biomedical Learning and Student Training (BLaST) Rm 108 UAS Sitka 1332 Seward Ave Sitka, Alaska 99835 Phone (907) 747-7791 http://www.alaska.edu/blast/ (she/her)
