About
I recently received my PhD in palaeontology at the University of Manchester (UK). I specialize in paleopathology (ancient injuries and diseases) and in using more unconventional techniques such as synchrotrons to tease out the chemistry of bone remodeling and repair. I'm not species-est, having studied everything from manatees to turkey vultures, though I've always had a weakness for dinosaurs. I've worked in museum settings since she was 16, having every job from museum education and exhibit design, to collections management and research. I'm also very active in public programming and outreach and have presented my research to crowds in both the US and UK. When I'm not zapping fossils with X-ray, I'm traveling the world with a good book and playlist in hand.
