Throughout the day, a stellar roster of 10 speakers led us through their diverse research and perspectives on the study of ontogenetic inertia and its role in vertebrate macroevolution. In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sicb.org\/meetings\/2016\/schedule\/sessionresults.php?search=sessionnumber%3D%2780%27\" target=\"_blank\">complementary session<\/a>, held the day before the symposium, 8 graduate students and postdocs presented excellent talks on topics related to ontogeny, functional morphology and evolution. A\u00a0talented group of 6 American Indian and Native Alaskan undergraduates, invited as part of our broader impacts, also had a productive and fun meeting with\u00a0the guidance of their grad student mentors. All this was possible thanks to efforts with\u00a0co-organizer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthsciences.okstate.edu\/college\/biomedical\/anatomy\/paleontology\/gignac.php\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Gignac<\/a>,\u00a0a\u00a0National Science Foundation\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=1539880&amp;HistoricalAwards=false\" target=\"_blank\">award<\/a>, and support from the SICB Divisions of Vertebrate Morphology and Comparative Biomechanics.
