A year and a half ago I had the privilege of reworking a paper by famed "Lemur Lady" Laurie Godfrey, one of my professors at UMass. I'm no primatologist, and most of my rewrite was rewritten again, so it is a gift and an honor to have my name kept on this paper. Now it's published in the American Journal of Primatology! Well, prepublished...the issue comes out in a few weeks I think.

(The very short answer to the question posed by the title: Because the diet and chewing anatomy of this giant extinct lemur informs us about the super weird hominin genus Paranthropus (aka, the robust Australopithicenes).
My first publication. Thanks a ton to Laurie and the other coauthors for their generosity.
My trabecular bone project has yielded a paper which I've defended for my Master's degree. Now in its umpteenth round of edits it's just about ready for submission to the Journal of Human Evolution, which will be a damn big day for me. I'll post what I can, per copyright issues, when it's ready....
