I am a PhD candidate in the Evolutionary Biology program at the University of Chicago. I study palm flower weevil systematics in the de Medeiros lab at the Field Museum. I am a fan of data organization, collections-based research, and open access science. I love all things beetles and Beatles :)

I absolutely love the fact they've Pokemon-ised the museum staff, for the upcoming Pokémon partnership with the Field Museum. Museums, take note.
