snake phylogeny

This year's major project is on the phylogeny of snakes. Never mind the fact that I never finished (or even got near finishing) last year's project. Thankfully, being at the U of A means that I have the guidance of Dr. Michael Caldwell, one of the guys deeply embroyled in the snake phylogeny debate. It also means that it is becoming abundantly apparent that guys with way more experience and skill in comparative anatomy have tackled this topic to a degree of depth far greater than I could possibly do within the scope of this project. However, it aught to be very educational. In other words I'm going to get schooled bigtime on this one.
