Her research: Liz has just begun her graduate work at Berkeley. "I am interested in vertebrate paleontology. Specifically, I'm interested in integrating comparative phylogenetic and morphological studies to better understand the relationship between form and function in vertebrate evolution."

How she got interested in paleontology: "After visiting the American Museum of Natural History as a child, I left with more questions than answers. I started researching ideas in paleontology when I was 8, and never stopped all throughout high school. I realized that either this was just a ridiculously long phase, or my lifetime ambition. I chose the latter and haven't looked back since."
