News and Announcements
The IEB graduate program is proud to announce that one of its very own, Zhijie “Jack” Tseng, has been named a Fulbright scholar. He will spend the upcoming year on the Tibetan plateau completing his dissertation research on a study of Chinese and North American extinct carnivores. For more information, click here.
Jack has also received a National Geographic Society Young Explorer Grant for a future project in the summer of 2009. "I now have enough money to lead an expedition to Inner Mongolia in search of extinct large mammals (including hyenas) and excavating some 2007 sites; the project is also funded by a Geological Society of America grant and an Evolving Earth Foundation grant."
On the anthropological front, IEB PhD candidate Robert O'Malley is studying chimpanzees in the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, where Jane Goodall established her famous chimpanzee research facility. Read about and watch video profiling Rob's research here.
