The Department has also collaborated with the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Psychology, and Neurobiology. Physical facilities include a strain gauge lab, computers, a dry lab with diverse fossil cast collections, and a dissection lab. The Peabody Museum of Natural History also offers extensive collections and resources. Complementing that, several others share a common interest in symbolic and semiotic analyses. The former have many formal and informal relations with other segments of the social sciences, the latter with other segments of the humanities, at Yale.
Gender is also another common interest shared by many faculty members.
