I am an evolutionary biologist. Most of my research currently focuses the evolution of drug resistance in HIV. I want to understand what determines the rate of evolution of drug resistance so that we can find ways to halt the evolution of drug resistance.
Before switching to HIV, I worked on ants, sympatric speciation and soft sweeps. I also write and tweet and make videos.
