Opportunities
I’m always open to collaborations and consulting!
- Currently, I am most interested in working remotely with an experimentalist in environmental microbiology to analyze ecological data with both common statistical techniques and novel methodologies.
- If you think my background would be relevant to any other type of project, reach out and I’d consider helping out.
- I would happily work on visualization and dissemination of socially impactful research and other initiatives.
- I enjoy discussing admissions and general career planning with high schoolers and undergrads. I can advise generally on STEM careers but am very knowledgeable on biology and genomics in particular. I will give feedback on any materials you send my way and will make time to meet if you’d prefer.
Feel free to contact me about these (or anything else you think of).
