EAS Professor David Polly has been named an American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellow for distinguished contributions to the field of vertebrate paleontology, particularly for original studies in morphometrics, for quantitative analyses in paleobiology, and for innovative studies on mammalian evolution.

EAS Professor Juergen Schieber received the Sorby Medal in recognition “of his extensive research that has revolutionized our understanding of mud and shale sedimentology.”

EAS Professor Juergen Schieber has been awarded a Fulbright Scholarship for 2022-2023 for his work with the Institute of Marine Science, Italian National Research Council at Bologna University.

Student Honors

EAS Graduate Student Danielle Peltier has received a prestigious grant from the Leakey Foundation for her dissertation work. The grant provides $12,000 for her project titled “The drivers of faunal community dynamics and its implications on hominin occupation during Bed II times, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania.”

EAS PhD Candidate Anne Kort has received a McCormick Science Grant. Anne is doing research on the evolution of Cenozoic mammals using a combination of 3D analysis, artificial intelligence algorithms, and primary description of fossils and their geological context.

Anne has a podcast! The Virtual Paleontologist
