Sarda Sahney
I am a palaeontologist at the University of Bristol studying the diversification of life on Earth. I believe that our present environmental crisis can be better understood by studying the history of life through time. Specifically, I examine various aspects of ecology, biodiversity, mass extinctions and recovery. I also enjoy public outreach initiatives and participate in a variety of educational projects.
