Wonderful call with Dr. Amato, American Museum of Natural History
We just had a wonderful call with Dr. Amato, Director of the Center for Conservation Genetics at the American Museum of Natural History.
If you missed it, then you must listen to this audio recording, follow this web-based powerpoint and check out the experiment on Twitter:
1. Audio
2. Web-based Powerpoint (to follow along while listening – not necessary but adds to it)
3. Twitter
Note: Only a few listeners contributed to the “live tweet”, but the comments are definitely interesting and worthwhile checking out.
Dr. Amato inspired us with his passion for evolutionary biology, with his virtual tour of his 80+ person genetics/genomics lab that sites behind-the-scenes at the American Museum of Natural History and surprised us with how he and his team use genetics to make important contributions to the preservation of endangered species (among other things).
Dr. Amato is a true friend of the Reading Odyssey and deserves our thanks!
