Scott Rifkin, Ph.D. is Associate Professor at the University of California, San Diego. His lab studies how stochastic, genetic, and environmental variation is filtered through development and physiology to produce phenotypic variation and how evolutionary forces shape that process. Dr. Rifkin earned a bachelor's degree in Biological Anthropology from Harvard and a PhD from Yale University. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard and an NIH postdoctoral fellow at MIT. He attended CEE's Research Science Institute in 1992.
