What is the purpose of echolocation? šŸ‹ Barbara Lawrence, Museum of Comparative Zoology's curator of mammals 1931-76, paved the way for research into many fields. Together with her husband, she conclusively proved that marine mammals use echolocation to track prey. #Harvard harvardmagazine.com/2025/01/harvar…

In January, MCZ collections hosted students from the Harvard Extension School Museum Collections Care course. In malacology, Tricia created an inventory of mollusks collected in Antarctica by the RV Eltanin Expedition, including this keyhole limpet (a type of sea snail).
