She earned a MSc with Specialization in Systematics and Evolution in 2011 at the University of Alberta. Currently, she is working as a technician in the Sullivan Lab at the University of Alberta, repairing and restoring fossils from the Grande Prairie area and Peace Region for research, education, and display. Combined with extensive experience at sites or labs across Alberta, Argentina, Mongolia, and South Korea, Robin is efficient and effective in the field and wields impressive preparation skills that can restore any fossil to its former glory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>LAB-RELATED PUBLICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Park, J.-Y., Lee, Y.-N.,\u00a0Currie, P.J., Ryan, M.J., Bell, P., <strong>Sissons, R.<\/strong>, Koppelhus, E.B., Barsbold, R., Lee, S., and Kim, S.-H. 2021.
