About 80 students from the Henry Doorly Zoo Academy in Omaha visited the UNK Biology Department Friday before watching sandhill cranes on the Platte River near Kearney.
At UNK, the high school juniors and seniors went to three interactive labs – a miracle berry experiment that makes sour foods taste sweet with associate professor Nick Hobbs, an antler metrics activity that examined shed deer antlers with online master’s in biology coordinator Brian Peterson and a telemetry activity (animal radio tracking) with associate professor Dustin Ranglack.
