Hello! My name is Sarah Sheffield-welcome! I am an evolutionary paleobiologist, which means that I look at how organisms have evolved through time by studying the fossil record. I am an assistant professor at Binghamton University in New York, USA.

I’ve written this website so that anyone who enjoys science can learn a little about my research, teaching, outreach, and the fantastic students working with me in the lab.

I spend most of my time doing what I love the most-teaching paleontology and looking at gorgeous fossils, but when I’m not, I love reading, hiking, kayaking, and spending time with my bunnies, guinea pigs, and dogs. I also embroider and cross stitch- I sell my original science-themed pattern designs on Etsy, too!
