Paleontologist and international fellow at Japan National Museum of Nature and Science. Morphology, ecology, ecosystem evolution. Love of all things cat-like.
Well, it’s been in the works for a bit now, but I should probably share my research proposal with the JSPS was funded. I’ll be moving to Japan this September to work with the National Museum of Nature and Science on Pleistocene through modern food webs. Excited for the next big adventure!

Paleo folks in the western US: The Western Association of Vertebrate Paleontology conference will be held Feb 14-16, 2025 in Mesa AZ with the Arizona Museum of Natural History: www.wavp.us/wavp-2025/
WAVP is always a fun, low-key conference, great for early career researchers. Hope to see you there!

Very excited to share a huge project that's been a long time in the making. Interested in squamate macroevolution? Curious about how snakes fit into the broader ecological context of squamates? Looking for a new squamate phylogeny? Check out our new work: doi.org/10.1126/scie...
