I study the evolution and ecology of birds using comparative and population genetic approaches. In my work, I use genomic tools to explore how and why birds adapt to extreme environments.

 

I get excited about questions like:

• why are some birds found all over and others not?

• how do birds cope with variation in their surroundings?

• can we use genomics to explore a bird's history?

When I'm not thinking about evolution, you can find me talking about community, practicing yoga, crafting, or pickling something.
