Whitenack’s Research Included in “The Machine Inside: Biomechanics” Exhibit

Assistant Professor of Biology Lisa Whitenack was elected to the board of directors for the American Elasmobranch Society, a nonprofit organization that seeks to advance the scientific study of living and fossil sharks, rays, and their relatives and promote education, conservation, and the wise utilization of natural resources. In addition, Whitenack’s research on performance and pinch force in stone crab claws has been included in the exhibit “The Machine Inside: Biomechanics,” which is currently at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and will be touring North America and Europe through 2017.
