Rachel Racicot

I am a postdoctoral fellow at Howard University, where I am concentrating on coral evolution and paleobiology of fossil vertebrates from the Transantarctic Mountains. On the side I study the evolution and adaptations of secondarily aquatic animals such as whales by looking at their internal anatomy, primarily using CT scans. I am interested in most everything about the natural world, and enjoy doing field work to complement ongoing studies in the lab.
