(wolves and hyenas, too!).” From Boston to Berlin, chair of biology Dr. George C. Argyros is investigating evidence of healed limb-bone fractures and osteoarthritis in carnivores while on sabbatical. His research examines differences in the prevalence of injury and healing, correlated with the degree of gregarious behaviours of species. His research travels have taken him to 13 natural history museums from North America to the UK, and to multiple countries throughout western Europe this spring and summer. If you are interested in this type of research and would like to see how you can get involved, feel free to stop by and chat with Dr. A!</p><a href="/live/news/2973-biology-professor-dr-argyros-travels-to-study" class="link-with-arrow gold">Keep reading</a></div></div>

His current work is investigating genes involved in ethanol state-dependent learning to see if they are also required in nicotine-dependent state dependent learning. The genes of interest for this project are <em>hen-1</em> and <em>scd-2</em>. Dr. Lindsay’s work uses the model organism <em>C elegans</em> (pictured), a nematode worm that is a very useful study system for medically-relevant research. This research can be used to demonstrate how chemical substances impact learning.
