Hypothesis Fund Grant awarded to Elizabeth Sibert

The Paleo-FISHES Lab is excited to share that PI Elizabeth Sibert was awarded a Seed Grant from the Hypothesis Fund! Her project, “Reconstructing ancient zooplankton dynamics from fish microfossils in deep-sea sediments”, will explore how fish tooth shape and relative abundance can relate to zooplankton dynamics in marine ecosystems, further developing the relationship between fish tooth morphology and diet. We are thrilled to be able to dive deeper into this research and can’t wait to share the results! Thanks to Scout Ginger Armbrust for believing in our research program’s potential, and to the organizers and administrative team at the Hypothesis Fund for making this possible!
