Mary Elizabeth Cole

Mary Elizabeth Cole is a Ph.D. candidate in Biological Anthropology at The Ohio State University. According to Mary, The NIJ GRF has enabled me to push at the technological boundaries of my field, moving from traditional histology to cutting-edge, high-resolution micro-computed tomography. I was able to gain technical skills that are highly desired within skeletal biology research but are not typically available to most graduate students because of the cost of this technology. I am currently applying for postdoctoral positions, and I am a much more competitive candidate because of my familiarity with cadaveric dissection, X-ray-based imaging technologies, and automated image analysis all made possible through the NIJ GRF.
