A Special Symposium To Honor Lance Grande

A Special Symposium To Honor Lance Grande

The 12th North American Paleontological Convention, held at the University of Michigan June 17–21, featured a special symposium (June 20) entitled “Interconnected Patterns of Natural History: A Tribute to the Career and Contributions of Lance Grande.”

Colleagues Eric Hilton (Virginia Institute of Marine Science) and Matt Friedman (U-Mich Museum of Paleontology) kicked off the doings with a presentation on the career of Curator Emeritus Grande, and his impact on paleontology and systematic biology. This was followed by 13 other papers on fossil fishes, which will soon be assembled into a book. The complete program, with abstracts of the talks, can be accessed here.
