Teaching in anatomy, anthropology and evolution has always included both science and medical students. Main thrust: scientific underpinnings of human structure. Also directed Undergraduate Research and MD/PhD Programmes, Chicago, and MD/PhD, Engineers in Medicine, and Medical Student Research Programmes, LA.
Current teaching - occasional invited lectures in Medical Anatomy and Human Biology as requested.

Researches from 1952 starting with anatomical dissection and bone measurement. Developed through multivariate statistical analyses, geometric morphometrics, engineering modelling including photoelastic, finite element and Fast Lagrangian Analyses, and texture analysis with optical and computational Fourier transforms. This work on bones then extended to mathematical analyses of soft tissue structures, muscle and brain, and of non-anatomical features such as animal movements, lifestyles, diets and environments. Further studies included mathematical mimicry of individual lineages and species trees, and clinical problems: vitamin B12 deficiency, osteoporosis, ear ossicle function and disease, iodine deficiency, cretinism, and the Flores skeleton. Recently moved into forensic studies of bone.
