Yale paleontologist Pincelli Hull, whose research into ancient marine life and ocean ecosystems has led to new insights into long-ago mass extinction events and what they might tell us about today’s changing planet, has been named a 2023 Schmidt Science Polymath fellow.

The prestigious fellowship supports recently tenured professors with remarkable track records, promising futures, and a desire to explore interdisciplinary research. It comes with an award of $500,000 per year for up to five years, to help support innovative, highly interdisciplinary research. The Schmidt Science Polymath program is supported by Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic initiative of Eric and Wendy Schmidt. For more information, click here for an article published by Yale News.
