A few weeks ago, the UO vertebrate paleontology group returned from SVP in Salt Lake City. It was a very eventful meeting with eight current members presenting as well as 10 alumni. Nick and Kelsey also organized the student and postdoctoral roundtable and their committee (student and postdoctoral liaison committee) raised over $7000 for the Cohen Award to support student research through SVP, the largest amount ever raised at a meeting! Nick was also the recipient of the Mary Dawson pre-doctoral fellowship grant!! And even though  Dr. Davis didn’t present, he did meet with several prospective grad students so all in all, it was a very successful meeting for all members of the group.
