I'm the one in the center.
Howdy. I'm a center associate at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in Santa Barbara, where I coordinate the Paleobiology Database.
I am now a grownup and a a very happy family man, as you can tell.
I think the Database members will finish plugging in the entire fossil record any day now. I also think that someday the Mets will win the World Series. Some people say I am not very realistic. They are correct.
I am a graduate of Reed College and the Committee on Evolutionary Biology at the University of Chicago (like a lot of people). Between 1994 and 1996 I was a post-doctoral fellow in the University of Arizona's Research Training Group in the Analysis of Biodiversification, which is affiliated with the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Between 1996 and 1998 I had yet another post-doc with the Smithsonian Institution's Department of Paleobiology and Evolution of Terrestrial Ecosystems consortium.
And if that's not enough gory detail for you, there's always my CV, my insane ranting about statistical methods, and my graph of everything you always wanted to know about mammals but were afraid to ask.
