Professional and Community Activities

Polizzi’s master’s thesis focused on comparative anatomy of the vasculature of the intestine of different fishes by examining casts of the vasculature of this organ using electron microscopy to determine evolutionary relationships. Her interest continued in this field of comparative anatomy of fishes through SEM analyses and vascular corrosion casting.
