I received my Bachelor of Sciecne in
Biology from James Madison University in 2001. I entered the biology
graduate program here at JMU after finishing my undergraduate degree,
and I am currently in my third semester. I have been working in Dr.
Wunderlich's lab since the Spring of 2001. My thesis research is on
the kinetics of the hindlimb during bipedal locomotion in the indrid
primate, Propithecus verreauxi.

I am a second year graduate student in biology with
a focus in anatomy. My thesis project involves a study on the kinematics
of bipedalism in an indrid primate, Propithecus verreauxi.
I have been working in Dr. Wunderlich's lab since the summer of 2000,
where I began work on the primate primer. I received my bachelors
of science from James Madison University in May of 2001.

I am a senior here at JMU, majoring in Health Science
and minoring in biology with a concentration in pre-physical therapy.
Next fall I will begin studying at Duke University in their Doctor
of Physical Therapy Program. I plan to practice in pediatric physical
therapy. My current research examines developmental changes in plantar
pressure, specifically in children ages one to five. My goal is to
discover where along a child development pressure changes occur and
apply this knowledge to what we currently know about childhood gait
development, foot growth, etc.

I am a senior here at JMU, majoring in Mathematics
and Biology. I am currently working on analyzing the plantar foot
pressures of Propithecus verreauxi, an indrid primate, during bipedal
locomotion. Investigation of this topic will help us to understand
why this primate is one of the few to predominately travel bipedally
when on a terrestrial substrait.
