-----------------------------        December 2022        -----------------------------
My first winter term as a PhD is coming to an end and it feels about the right time to recapitulate some of the recent highlights! Thanks to being awarded a Zahm Professional Development Fund from the Graduate School I was able to attend ConGen 2022. The online workshop on Conservation Genetics, Population Genomics and Molecular Ecology was an incredible learning and networking experience. So grateful to be able to pick the brains of leading scientists in the field! Further, it was a Guppy-loaded term where our lab had the pleasure to attend incredible talks by Dr. Ron Bassar tackling the real eco-evo dynamics and Dr. Sarah Fitzpatrick groundbreaking work on genetic rescue. Also, on a personal note, Argentina just won the World Cup! Exciting research coming soon, Long live the Fish!

My PhD adventure at University of Notre Dame is just about to get officially started after a great summer of fieldwork at UNDERC East supported by an UNDERC Graduate Fellowship and the Merrilee Clark Redmond Endowment for Excellence. Special thanks to the Jones Lab, my fellow PhD Candidate Camille Mosley, our team of technicians and  to the whole UNDERC Staff, specially to our Environmental Research Center Director Prof. Swenson. Next week, heading to Chattanooga for the 2nd Southeastern Computational Biology School on RNAseq and Transcriptomics. Can't wait!

Sometimes good things just come all together. I'm very happy to announce that I have been admitted to the Graduate Program in Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame where I will be starting my PhD under supervision of the great researcher (and better advisor) Dr. J. Torres-Dowdall.
To start with, I will be spending this summer at the University of Notre Dame Environmental Research (UNDERC) thanks to an UNDERC Graduate Fellowship to study the visual system of fish in the Northern Highlands. More news coming soon!

ABOUT ME

An integrative visual ecologist for a lack of a better definition

Ever since I was a kid I've been fascinated by nature. I grew up in a rural village in the Mediterranean Sea as a son of Argentinian immigrants. Santa Claus brought me my first toy microscope and so I started collecting insects and pine cones. After high school, I decided to pursue a degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Konstanz where I recently finished my Master's degree. Through my brief academic life, I've worked mainly with honeybees and cichlid fish, with a strong interest in ecology, behaviour and molecular evolutionary biology. Currently, I aim to combine genomic and ecological data with behavioural experiments to identify drivers of divergence in the visual system of fish.

Seeing through my lens

Luckily, I've had the opportunity to travel to many places, meet lots of interesting people and last but not least, see different natural surroundings. I try to keep track of all those memories here!
