Michał Kowalewski is a Professor of Geobiology in the Department of Geosciences at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. His primary scientific interests revolve around quantitative paleoecology, taphonomy, macroevolution, and related topics. His research centers, for the most part, on Cenozoic marine benthic invertebrates. He likes to eat them too, but only if they are from the latest Holocene and don’t have a lophophore. Michał grew up in Warsaw (Warsaw, Poland, that is, and not the one in North Carolina), an area covered by a thick blanket of useless glacial junk. Still, he somehow found a way to study marine paleoecology. Michał, his wife Agata, and their daughters Ula and Aśka live in the southwest Virginia, on an Alleghanian thrust fault. This never ceases to amaze them.
