Titouan Camus has joined the lab to do a PhD tentatively focused on bringing to bear new silicified material, particularly early life history material, to the problems of higher trilobite phylogeny. Titouan did an MS split between Catherine Crônier's lab at the University of Lille, France, and Graham Budd's lab at Uppsala University, Sweden.

Ethan Bley, who has been in the lab for the past two years as an Office for Undergraduate Research Fellow, has joined now as an MS student. Ethan will be working on the early Tremadocian silicified faunas of the Barn Canyon Member of the House Formation in western Utah.
