Postdoctoral Researcher in Evolutionary Biology, UNSW
I am a recent PhD graduate in evolutionary biology.
As a biologist I am fascinated with the weird and wonderful, but as an evolutionary ecologist this mainly means sex!
My background is entomology (the study of insects) which I use to ask questions around the evolution of ageing and lifespan, mating strategies, the bizarre world of insect genitalia, the invisible world of chemical signalling, dietary ecology and much more.
