The U-M Museum of Paleontology welcomes three new graduate students joining the Museum of Paleontology this Fall!
Brielle Canares obtained her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington. She is interested in addressing questions that deal with plant evolution and changes to tropical ecosystems through geologic time and learning about the different ways we can use plant fossils to inform us about past environments (e.g., vegetation structure reconstruction, climate, plant-insect interactions). She will be pursuing a M.S. in Earth and Environmental Sciencs and will be joining the Carvalho Lab in Fall 2023.
Lynnea Jackson studies the evolution of sauropods with a particular focus on basal sauropodomorphs. She has a Bachelor’s degree in geology from Michigan State University and has just graduated with a Master's degree from the University of Minnesota. In her spare time, you will find her bothering her cat, Mazee, and/or creating nail art. She also loves traveling and is hoping to someday get to all of the continents. Lynnea will be pursuing a Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Sciences and will be joining the Wilson’s Lab in Fall 2023.
Teddy Matel is from Round Pond, Maine, and obtained his Bachelor’s degree from Cornell University. He is interested in the systematics and ecology of fossil and living plants. During his graduate and doctoral research, he plans to use comparison between modern and ancient organisms and processes to elucidate patterns of angiosperm biogeography and the evolution of angiosperm-dominated ecosystems. Teddy will be pursuing a Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Sciences and will be joining the Carvalho Lab in Fall 2023.
Welcome to the U-M Museum of Paleontology!
