From ancient civilizations to Vitamin-D studies and excavating human remains, the latest Lab Liaisons, highlighting the Department of Anthropology at U of T Mississauga, covered a lot of ground.

On Wednesday, July 30, staff and faculty were treated to a special showcase of work being done by three Anthropology faculty members in the Research Office’s annual Lab Liaisons.

After a brief introduction by Vice-Principal, Research Bryan Stewart, the researchers were welcomed to the lectern to enlighten the audience about their work and respective laboratories.

Once again this event demonstrated the diversity and breadth of the research conducted within a single department. Molecular anthropologist Esteban Parra, archaeologist David Smith and forensic anthropologist Tracy Rogers provided members of the audience with an overview of the kinds of projects they are working on and the lab spaces that house their unique research needs and activity.
