In this paper we

• build a phylogeny for the diverse and widespread keyhole limpets, leading to updates in classification
• used fossil data to calibrate the tree
• added geographical information to estimate their distribution through time!

Celebrating halloween with the first preprint of my PhD: Deep gastropod relationships resolved. Check it out to see how different groups of snails, limpets and slugs are related to each other! And for some cool phylogenomics methods. Feedback welcome :) Read more about First preprint of my PhD: Deep gastropod relationships resolved

Just got the wonderful news that my application was selected for a Faculty for the Future Fellowship! Recipients are women in STEM fields who may become role models in the sciences upon returning to their home countries. The fellowship will fund the last year of my PhD at Harvard, working with the phylogenetic relationships of gastropods, their biogeography in the marine environment and the evolution of shell shape across large time scales.

In OEB-Harvard, all fourth year students present to the whole department in the G4 Symposium. It is one of the milestones of our program and everyone did so great!
