Rachel's thesis showed us so clearly how the frog ear works - look for great work (and visualizations) as Rachel moves on to her PhD focusing even more on biomechanics. And of course her publications on these frog models and what she learned about structure-function of the ear!
My MS project presents the first finite element models of amphibian middle ears! Two of the main findings were that FE modeling can be used to accurately recreate many aspects of frog middle ear mechanics and that the model motions are frequency-dependent πΈ @HokeCSU@csubiology
