How does early life shape craniofacial growth in osteogenesis imperfecta? 🦴 New research reveals key changes during suckling to chewing transitions & the need for early care. Read here: https://buff.ly/3EVuWPi

When in Rome...

The placenta is named after an ancient Roman cheesecake flavored with honey and bay leaves. This recipe is adapted from Cato the Elder's recipe from 160 BC and was a nice treat to eat while discussing placental development in our Embryology seminar today.

Black History Month banner graphic

Although we work on initiatives to support and uplift African-American voices year-round, this month we center Black anatomists, scientists, researchers, clinicians, educators, and organizations who continue to propel the anatomical sciences forward.
