 With the start of a truly unique Fall Semester 2020, we welcome the newest members of the Laboratory for Invertebrate Paleobiology and Evolution!

 New graduate student Mr. **Jared C. Richards** joins the lab after having completed his undergraduate degree in quantitative biology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Jared's work will broadly address the ecological significance of the Lower Ordovician Fezouata biota in Morocco.

 **Dr. Javier (Javi) Luque** comes to us after having completed a prestigious NSERC-fellowship at Yale University. Javi is a world-leading expert on decapod systematics, paleobiology and evolution, and joins us as part of an ongoing NSF-funded project to understand the significance of convergence in the ecological successs of crabs
