#Introduction

I'm a professor at a public university, cell biologist and geneticist who studies chromosome segregation in C. elegans during both development (mitosis) and sexual reproduction (meiosis).

I am also a passionate and committed advocate for equity in academic science

I enjoy my work, in all its forms, food (eating and cooking) and cocktails (in all its forms, but particularly the brown varieties 🥃 ).

What up, y'all?
