Lindsay Craig is a visiting assistant professor at the University of Idaho who specializes in philosophy and history of evolutionary biology and philosophy of science. Before joining this department, she taught at the University of Oklahoma after receiving her Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati. Her research interests include, but are not limited to, philosophical issues related to the relatively new field of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) and the relationship between evolution and development. More specifically, Craig's research focuses on scientific change, explanation, and controversy within the domain of evolutionary biology.
