Hello. Welcome to the home project page for the Vitek Lab. We are a lab studying vertebrate paleontology and osteology. The lab nexus is figuring out how microevolution scales up to the long time scales and larger biological scales commonly encountered in the fossil record.
This project is a public, living set of documents and files. It is intended to help prospective lab members learn more about the lab, new lab members get oriented in the lab, and current lab members to reference lab policies and FAQs.
Lab members are encouraged to update this wiki as they develop expertise and notice areas for improvement. Remember that there is a separate, private lab project for protocols (up for discussion whether these documents should go public). Talk to Natasha about getting editing privileges as you need them.
As the lab gets set up, so too will this project. Stay tuned.
