Thoracic Vertebrae: A Change in Course

Nico l -

This week I have, with some help, decided to steer my project more towards the anthropological side of forensic anthropology, as this would allow me to utilize museums such as the Arizona Natural History Museum in Mesa, which has been one of my favorite museums to visit here, although it was usually for the dinosaurs and not the pottery and human history, which will be interesting to actually read this time around. I’m still trying to get more lab time as I do want to have actual hands on experience with a forensics lab, and I am awaiting a response from the Gilbert PD regarding an interview opportunity that they offered me a few months ago, so that is what I am aiming to do this week.

I am still doing my best as well to edit videos, usually for about 20-30 minutes a day, just playing around with stuff I have recorded before. It’s not too good but that’s why I’m practicing.

I look forward to learning new things from the museum and just returning to it, as it has been about 4 years since I last visited

    Nico, Senior Projects ALWAYS pivot in the middle for one reason or another. I'm delighted by your particular shift towards the museum--that tracks as it is related, but also one of your deep veins of curiosity. I'm also eager to hear what comes of that interview with the Gilbert Police . . . how fascinating. Keep up the great work. MG

    What's up Nico? It's great that you are going to be able to include the museum that you enjoy so much in your project. What kind of exhibits do you foresee yourself working with or enjoying the most?

    Hello Nico! It's great to see you making progress despite all the challenges you've faced thus far. My question is: What inspired you to shift towards the anthropological side of forensics, and how do you see places like the Arizona Natural History Museum contributing to your understanding of the field?

    Hey Nico! Hopefully the opportunity with the Gilbert PD pans out! Are there any exhibits you would recommend at the Arizona Natural History Museum in Mesa?
