Lee Post is a nationally recognized bone articulation expert with more than thirty years of experience. He is one of the world’s leading authorities on salvaging, preparing, and articulating beached whales, a story that began when the Pratt Museum acquired a 17-foot beaked whale that washed up on the shores of Kachemak Bay in 1977. This led to fifteen years of building up the osteology collection at the Museum, followed by decades of collaborations with schools and students. Post has also created a variety of written manuals that are some of the only of their kind in the world. Learn more by visiting his website https://www.theboneman.com.
