Bethany is a computational palaeobiologist, interested in understanding patterns and drivers of speciation and extinction on geological timescales. Her current research focuses on developing and applying skyline models in a macroevolutionary context.

She completed her PhD at the University of Leeds in 2021, researching spatial patterns of diversity, speciation and extinction associated with the Permian-Triassic mass extinction and subsequent prolonged biotic recovery.
