 For the past five years, Prof Javier Ortega-Hernández and Prof. Yu Liu, Yunnan University, China have collaborated to learn more about arthropod evolution by using micro-CT scanning to create 3D models of fossils and view details that would be impossible to see otherwise. Their work was recently covered by the [Harvard Gazette](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/09/harvard-researchers-make-sense-of-ancient-fossils-using-3d/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Gazette%2020200915%20(1)).

 Please join the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture for a [free virtual Evolution Matters Lecture](https://hmsc.harvard.edu/event/wonderful-cambrian-beasts) by Javier Ortega-Hernández on Wednesday, October 14 at 6 p.m.
