I’ve known scientific tree climbers since I started my PhD many moons ago, and now I’m finally one of them! One of the most exhausting and exhilarating things I’ve learned on this career path.

Looking forward to my first-ever American conference at the lovely (and sweltering) Penn State campus!

An homage to Patagonia and my PhD, now physically part of me forever (in addition to the scar I have from taking tree cores). A cachaña (Enicognathus leptorhynchus) and Nothofagus pumilio leaves, among other Patagonian species 😍

New horizons, "new" job, new social media platform.

On Monday I successfully defended my PhD, regarding local adaptation and gene flow in Patagonia's "Nothofagus pumilio" (tree species).
