Research Academy Kansas
Research Academy Kansas invites students to step into the world of scientific discovery through hands-on paleontological research at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History. Led by UC Berkeley mammal carnivore researcher Emily Bogner, this camp centers on real scientific datasets, analytical methods, and the investigative process that drives modern paleontology. Students will work with Emily’s extensive 3D dataset of skeletal elements from 44 living carnivoran species along with scans from extinct members of the group, including the bone-crushing dog Borophagus. Campers will learn to read scientific papers, master anatomical terminology, identify functional traits, and build research questions just as professional scientists do. Using the free software 3D Slicer, participants will landmark skulls and limb bones, perform geometric morphometric analyses, and take linear measurements to explore how bone form relates to locomotion, feeding, and ecology.
Museum Academy Missouri
This returning two-week program will get students learning the ins and outs of how to work in a university/museum paleontology research collection! Participants will engage with a curriculum focused on preparing them to succeed as research collection volunteers or paid assistants in college. This is one of the best ways for undergraduates to get their foot in the door working with faculty and graduate students in college, and is pathway many of our former students have successfully taken to find early opportunities to grow from. Skills and knowledge of fossil collections care and managements will also help prepare students for doing data-collection activities for research. Much of paleontological research involves knowing how to communicate with collections managers and conduct oneself in a professional, organized fashion while measuring fossil specimens. Students can expect time working in the fossil collection facilities as well as learning to use collection management software. Digital collection organization tools have become a crucial aspect of modern fossil specimen organization, both in museums and government land management agencies like the BLM and NPS. Participants will work with Univerity of Missouri graduate students and faculty in lessons and hands-on skill-building active learning projects.
Research Academy Missouri
Research Academy Missouri immerses high school students in the rapidly advancing field of digital paleontology, where cutting-edge imaging tools are transforming how scientists study the fossil record. Over two intensive weeks, participants work hands-on with CT scanning equipment and computer-based segmentation software to investigate real research specimens from faculty collections. Students learn how technologies such as CT, synchrotron radiation, and X-ray fluorescence scanning allow researchers to ask new biological and evolutionary questions not possible with traditional methods. This includes revealing internal structures and preserved soft tissues of fossils that cannot be observed through traditional methods. Research Academy Missouri blends authentic scientific practice with structured learning: students read and discuss current research, meet with working scientists to explore academic pathways, and collaborate on inquiry-driven projects rooted in published paleontological research.
