Chrissy Hall (Pal(a)eoPERCS scheduler)

I am an invertebrate paleontologist interested in how past life has responded to changing climates and environments. I did my undergraduate degree at the College of William and Mary and my MS and PhD at the University of California, Riverside, and I am currently a visiting assistant professor at Lafayette College. My main areas of research have been Ediacaran fossils with three-fold symmetry, and ostracods (small, bivalved crustaceans) from different periods of environmental change throughout the Cenozoic. My main responsibilities on the Pal(a)eoPERCS Committee include scheduling the speakers we decide to invite and keeping our schedule up-to-date.
