Hi!
Welcome you to my home page. I appreciate you taking the time to visit! This website displays some of my work – academic and otherwise.
You can find more about my research under the ‘about me’ section. My ecological work finds itself in the area where soil, plant, and insect ecology overlap. I’m also very interested in how external anthropogenic stressors affect interactions in these areas.
I’m also very interested in herpetology, albeit this is only a 30+ year hobby and nothing professional (one day I need to write a snake paper though!). I love field herpetology (although I do it too little), and I also keep and breed snakes at home. I try to share updates under the ‘herpetology’ section when there is something cool to share.
This place is also home to my daily blog. I absolutely love writing, and doing it every day keeps the ‘writing muscle’ engaged! Disclaimer: Don’t expect any high-class literature here – the point is to write and generate posts regularly. I’m regularly wrong, and more often boring than not. I write about what bothers, triggers, or inspires me on any given day. No fixed subjects. Blog entries range from travel blogs, to the rollercoaster of parenting two toddlers, to experiences in navigating academia as an early-career researcher. I may be too honest for my own good, but I prefer my writing to be raw and open. Feel free to share your opinions or insights in the comments!
Contact me any time – for job offers, scientific or writing collaborations, rants about mutual interests, or simply to say hi – via the ‘contact’ page.
All the best!
Robin
