Paleontology

When I was an undergraduate at Vanderbilt University, I worked in Larisa DeSantis’s DREAM Lab (Dietary Reconstructions and Ecological Assessments of Mammals). While there, I coauthored two scientific papers related to paleoecology. You can check them out here:

DeSantis LRG, Scott JR, Schubert BW, Donohue SL, McCray BM, et al. (2013) Direct Comparisons of 2D and 3D Dental Microwear Proxies in Extant Herbivorous and Carnivorous Mammals. PLoS ONE 8(8): e71428. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0071428
