Lecture / Seminar
Blomidon Naturalists Society presents Using Biological Collections to Understand Mammalian Biology and Diversity
Join one of the society's younger members who recently finished a ten-week-long whirlwind tour of several internationally-renowned museums in northeastern North America (i.e., Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard; Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC; American Museum of Natural History, New York; Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates, Ithaca; Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa; Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto; and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh). He conducted research visits to these institutions to work with their mammal collections to collate morphometric and genetic data for his Masters thesis. During this time, he studied and worked with many species of mammals, some of which, in his opinion, possess some of the most fascinating natural history known to biological science. He returned to Wolfville more knowledgeable and passionate about mammals than ever before!
Howie Huynh is a graduate student in the Biology Department at Acadia University studying mammalian systematics and conservation genetics with Dr. Don Stewart, and a youth member of the society. He has a deep passion for natural history science, especially anything that pertains to mammals, a taxonomic group that he has been studying in depth since his undergraduate studies in zoogeography and forest conservation sciences at the University of Toronto and Royal Ontario Museum.
