Dr. Sarah McMenamin awarded an NSF CAREER: Faculty Early Career Development Grant

Congratulations, Dr. McMenamin on being selected for a Faculty a Career Development Grant Award from the NSF!  Dr. McMenamin's research program aims to use the fin ray skeleton to reveal fundamental mechanisms that allow bones to establish, remember and re-create their shapes. Further, since the functional significance of fin structure is incompletely understood, this research is integrated with an undergraduate training program that will address outstanding questions about the diversity, performance and evolution of fin ray structures and branching patterns.
