Long Citation
Dr. A. Richard Palmer's research lies at the crossroads of three central lines of biological inquiry: development, functional morphology, and evolution. He has made world-leading contributions in these areas through his extensive research on asymmetry, developmental plasticity, and skeletal growth and function of marine animals. Palmer's landmark contributions have yielded major insights into both biology (how development evolves) and science culture (how scientists publish their research). His research published in internationally elite journals, including Science, Nature, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Science USA, is widely read and cited and has pioneered important new lines of investigation and thinking.
