ANU biological anthropology masters students Tara-Lyn Carter and Ben Gleeson
ANU Master of Biological Anthropology students Tara-Lyn Carter and Ben GleesonI’m pleased to report on the distinguished accomplishments of two Biological Anthropology postgraduate students with whom I’ve worked closely. Both have won accolades at The Australian National University’s (ANU) Student Research Conference on the 14th and 15th of July, 2016.
- Tara-Lyn Carter won 1st prize for postgraduate presentations for her talk on “Behaviour and Beliefs Related to Male Aggression: Evidence of Intrasexual Selection in Humans?” — a project that we are working on together (see our paper’s preprint on PeerJ Preprints and a previous blog post about the project).
- Ben Gleeson received a judge’s commendation for his talk on “The Effect of Female Social Status on Human Stature Sexual Dimorphism: Evidence of Self-Domestication?” This work is related to the thesis Ben is doing for his Master of Biological Anthropology degree, a project that I am supervising.
Both have been invited to post their slides in the ANU Library’s new digital repository for the conference. More information can be found on the conference’s Facebook page.
Congratulations to both of you for a job well done!
Dr Geoff Kushnick
