In my spare time I do some field and lab work, the picture is of me collecting fish near Veracruz, Mexico.

==Main Interests==
I am broadly interested in two lines of research: population genetics and epidemiology. The two fields are highly connected in both their methodologies and approach to questions, but thus far I've only managed to work on them independently (patterns of variation on new sex chromosomes, evolution of chromosome number in flowering plants, signatures of sexual selection on recombining sex chromosomes, social networks of primates and disease transmission, influenza surveillance, SO-H1N1...). My pie-in-the-sky goal is to integrate the two fields into a single line of research, something I'd be keen to think about during the CSSS.

==Side Interests==
Climbing, soccer, experimental geography, backpacking
