Convocation: “Big Questions about Small Worms: Biodiversity, Systematics, and Genomics of Micro-invertebrates”

Dr. Kevin Kocot’s research on the biodiversity, systematics, and genomics of marine invertebrates has taken him to the ends of the Earth on Antarctic and Arctic ship-based research expeditions and to over a kilometer below the ocean’s surface in HOV Alvin. Research in the Kocot lab employs both cutting-edge tools, like genomics and micro-computed tomography, and traditional tools, like histology and electron microscopy, to understand the evolutionary history and diversity of some of the strangest (and smallest) animals on the [...]
