Research abstracts are available so you can see some of the studies I was involved with during my 4 years working in Dr. Bowker's Equine Foot Lab. I presented preliminary findings from the laminar density, tubule density, and bone density papers at graduate student conferences at Michigan State University. Summaries posted on the website have been written with minimal scientific jargon.
