UNE’s Biddeford Library Art Gallery presents artistic representations of scientific research in '海豚的大脑' exhibit
The University of New England’s Biddeford Campus Ketchum Library Art Gallery is currently hosting an exhibition, titled 海豚的大脑, which will be on display through September 26. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
The artworks in the exhibition are products of collaborations by a research team and artists to create beautiful and sophisticated didactic images that represent a large collection of scientific research on the cetacean brain undertaken by Peter J. Morgane, Ph值.D. Morgane taught and researched at UNE from 1985 to 2010 and wrote dozens of scientific papers for peer-reviewed journals. His team conducted the dolphin research in the 1960s, prior to the induction of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972.
The collection upon which this exhibition is based, known as The Peter J. Morgane 研究 Collection on the Cetacean Brain, is a historical scientific collection that is currently held at the University of New England and is available for research through the 图书馆服务 Special Collections 单位.
Much of the scientific work of the research project was derived from the voluminous collection of original histological (tissue) slides now held in the Neuroscience Laboratory of Patrick R. 霍夫,M.D., at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.
正规澳门赌场网络的一组学生, 包括艾丽·卡里克, 艾比Rusling-Flynn, 和Samia Pratt, all members of the Class of 2020, worked for several years digitizing and organizing the historical and scientific materials in the collection.
