Innervation patterns of mystacial vibrissae support active touch behaviors in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus)

Caitlin is our close friend who shares our home with us. She has her own apartment, but Bo, the dog, and Sunny, the cat, wander back and forth between our spaces as they choose.

Plus, Caitlin does CrossFit and weightlifting with us, so you know she’s awesome. (And, full disclosure, we go to church together, too.)

Her Master’s Thesis was recently published in the Journal of Morphology.

The article:

is behind a paywall on the Wiley site, but you can read it here.

I’m posting about this for several reasons:

1) We’re so proud and excited for her that she completed this great work and has been published.

2) I love that our children are growing up around talented, driven, intelligent, kind adults.

3) Wiley is the same company that published Uncle Z and Buds’ book, so great company.

Yeah for hard, interesting, insightful work.

And yeah for Caitlin!
