The way lizards, turtles and people run will be part of the CU Wizards show titled "How Animals Move," presented Dec. 18 by the dean of the University of Colorado at Boulder College of Arts and Sciences.
The show by Todd Gleeson, dean and professor of integrative physiology, will be at 9:30 a.m. in the Cristol Chemistry and Biochemistry Building, room 140. It is free and open to the public.
CU Wizards is an annual series during the school year that introduces topics in astronomy, chemistry, biology and physics and is intended primarily for students in grades five through nine.
During "How Animals Move," the audience will learn how muscles shorten and power motion and how muscle metabolism functions during exercise through a treadmill demonstration using people and animals.
