Why Is Bruce S. Lieberman Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Bruce Smith Lieberman is an American paleontologist. Lieberman received his A.B 1988 summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard University and Stephen Jay Gould was his undergraduate advisor. He received a Master's in 1991 and a Doctorate in 1994 from Columbia University, and Niles Eldredge was his graduate advisor. During graduate school he was based at the American Museum of Natural History. He did a 2-year post-doctoral fellowship with Elisabeth Vrba at Yale University and a 2-year post-doctoral fellowship with Andrew Knoll at Harvard University. Since 1998 he has been on the faculty at the University of Kansas where he is a professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, and a Senior Curator in the University of Kansas Natural History Museum & Biodiversity Institute. He is also Director of the Paleontological Institute and editor-in-chief of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. He spent a year serving as a program officer at the National Science Foundation.
