My first, first-authored research paper is out! I’ve recorded a short video that explains how we used fossilized poop to uncover a massive marine migration in the fossil record!

For #fossilfriday I’d like to share some photos from my first round of Devonian fieldwork in Colorado in 2025. I had great company including friends from DMNS as well as the incredible @Yara_Haridy and Emily Hillan from the Shubin Lab. Really excited for round 2 in August!

Just wrapped up an exceptional week of Devonian fieldwork in Glenwood Canyon with my crew pictured here. (Not pictured is the amazing Emily Lessner)

Always a pleasure to go fishing at 7000 feet!

I am excited to share that I will be joining the #coateslab at @UChicago as a PhD student studying tetrapodomorph evolution this fall. I would like to thank all of my mentors and the countless people who helped me achieve this milestone.
