Question and Answer

       PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS:

  • [00:00:00] What is the motivation for selecting the mating pairs in the first set of experiments you showed?
  • [00:00:41] Do you expect behaviors to change if it was a tribal pair?
  • [00:01:14] For the second set of experiments, what was the concentration of europium and gadolinium before and after the wear test?
