Visitors entering the grand atrium of the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi are immediately struck by towering sauropod fossils. For Sara Almarzooqi, the 25-year-old NYU Abu Dhabi alum and assistant curator at the museum, helping bring one of these sauropod fossils to Abu Dhabi was among her first tasks on the job.

Bones can reveal a lot about a person after death—from their age and sex to what diseases they might have had. Students in Dr. Thomas Snyder’s Introduction to Forensic Anthropology course learn all about how to decipher the clues we leave behind using the science of the human skeleton.
Beyond skeletal analysis, students examine the ethical, historical, and methodological foundations of forensic anthropology. They also learn about the field’s role in the legal system. “We focus on understanding the science and legalities of how we can apply anthropology to medical-legal contexts, like missing persons and crime scenes,” says Professor Snyder.
Whether you are prehealth or just can`t enough of Bones reruns, this course has something for everyone. Learn more at the link in our bio! 🦴 🩻 💀
