AMHERST, Mass. - University of Massachusetts paleontologist Emily CoBabe looks at molecules pulled from fossils in order to learn about ancient animals and climates. "When people hear about my work, they tend to think of the movie ‘Jurassic Park,’" said CoBabe, a member of the geosciences faculty, and director of a state-of-the-art paleobiology laboratory set to come on line in the spring. "We’re not building organisms from the past, but we are looking into what they ate and how they lived."
