Allison awarded Smithsonian Predoctoral Fellowship

Congratulations to Allison, who has been awarded the Smithsonian Predoctoral Fellowship. She will be spending June-Dec 2023 in Washington D.C. at the Smithsonian Institute with our collaborator Dr. Stewart Edit. While there, she will be learning the ins and outs of the collections, how to measure shells for morphometrics, and will select samples for isotopic analysis back at UM. She will be investigating inner-outer shell layer differences in bivalves that died vs. survivied the KPg mass extinction.
