As the new year kicks off, I’m excited to share a big milestone in my life: I’ve officially started my PhD at the Adaptive Biotoxicology Lab at the University of Queensland! For years, my love for exploring the natural world has taken me to the Amazon rainforest, and now it’s leading me into the fascinating world of Central African reptiles and amphibians.
This blog will be a space where I share my journey as a researcher and adventurer. You can expect:
Fieldwork Tales: Fun (and sometimes wild) stories from the field—chasing elusive snakes, unexpected encounters with rare species, and the occasional mishap that makes the adventure worthwhile. I’ll include plenty of images and videos to bring you along for the ride.
Research Highlights: Updates on my ongoing studies of viper venom diversity, frog functional diversity, and the biodiversity of Central Africa. I’ll also dive into the stories behind some of my past publications. Science isn’t just about the results—it’s about the journey to discover them!
Adventures and General Musings: Life as a PhD student is bound to be full of surprises, and I’ll be documenting the fun and challenges along the way. Especially as I move across the globe from Atlantic Canada to Australia.
I hope this blog becomes a window into the vibrant, unpredictable, and awe-inspiring world of herpetology and tropical ecology. Whether you’re a fellow scientist, a nature enthusiast, or just curious about life in the field, I’m excited to have you here.
