Scott Lakeram is a paleontologist and Ph.D. Candidate in Plant Biology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He is interested in understanding how terrestrial arthropods influenced decomposition in Pennsylvanian peat swamps. Scott does this by analyzing coprolites (fossilized fecal pellets) from ancient insects to understand feeding behaviors on early plants during the Pennsylvanian (300 million years ago).
