Just changed over from mas.to, so time for #introduction. I am a #biologist interested in #evolution and #conservation using population and speciation genomic tools. Currently, I’m in Switzerland @unibasel, funded through a @MSCActions fellowship, studying determinants of #geneticdiversity with a focus on #lifehistorytraits and #mutationrates.
