IGERT PI John Postlethwait with K-3 students at the Discovery Ponds of the Science Factory Children’s Museum, Eugene Oregon July 2007. The exercise focuses on how fish mouth shapes evolve over time to adapt to their food source. Students trapped stickleback fish overnight and collected them the next day. Here they are observing their catch.
