MEGALITHIC TO MINIATURE
A mandible (lower jaw bone) of a North Atlantic right whale is prepared for scanning by MIT/WHOI Joint Program graduate student Regina Campbell-Malone and CT technologist Julie Arruda.A large core section of coral, with an intricate internal canal structure that once housed coral polyps, is positioned on the scanner bed by scientists Anne Cohen and Hanumant Singh with Arruda.
A Siberian tiger head is positioned by Arruda, for research by Edward Walsh of Boy?s Town Research Hospital to determine what tigers hear and how they protect themselves from their own extraordinary roars. A live bat is carefully cushioned, sedated and watched by WHOI biologist Darlene Ketten, for ONR-funded research by James Simmons of Brown University to help understand bat ears and echolocation.
