Haley Amplo ’17 loves rock climbing, especially in the Southeast. She likes the way the rock formations have created climbing routes that keep her intrigued.
“I love climbing. It’s a game. It’s a challenge, a puzzle to figure out,” said Amplo, vice president of UT’s rock climbing club, a University club sport. “Even when you’re in the gym, and they’ve got marked off holes, it’s still ‘how can I figure it out in a way that’s different than how everybody else is figuring it out,’ which I think relates a lot to science.”
She should know. Amplo has been problem solving her way through the hammerhead shark research she’s been conducting these past two years with Daniel Huber, associate professor of biology. They are studying why the shape of hammerhead sharks’ heads have evolved as they have.
