In the summer of 2024, Duke undergraduate Erika Kraabel traveled to Madagascar to help the DLC Museum of Natural History team collect lemur bones at Bezà Mahafaly Special Reserve, a longstanding research site in southwestern Madagascar.
“At the DLC Museum, I’ve been learning the foundations of fossil preparation and have been involved in rehousing the osteological collection,” says Erica. “When I was offered the opportunity to be part of the Beza Mahafaly Osteological Collection team, it was possibly the fastest ‘YES’ I have ever given!”
Erika’s story will be featured in the January 2025 issue of the DLC annual magazine.
